Kazlauskas Reunion 1 ** Kazlauskų susitikimas 1

Darsuniskis

This large group is a combination of families of Mary's brothers Joseph (Juozas) & Frank (Pranas)
We will break them into family clusters going left to right...

Marius' family is at the far left:
[1-4] Marius Kazlauskas (grandson of Mary's youngest brother Joseph).
Marius is a police officer in Kaunas.
He is here with his wife Gertruda (a Lithuanian Customs Officer) and two little children Adomas (striped jacket) and Brigita (in pink sweater).
[5] Marius' mother Gene Kazlauskas is standing behind the Brigita.

[6] the woman next to Brigita standing up front in the gray jacket is Ona Petrauskas -- a more distant relative... her grandfather was the brother of Mary's father.

This next group is Janina's family:
[7] Janina Kazlauskas is the woman in the black dress with the white lace collar.
She is the daughter of Mary's youngest brother, Joseph.
[8] To her left - the man in the suit & tie) is her brother Algirdas Kazlauskas.
[9] To the left of Algirdas (black sweater with gray shoulders) is Janina's son Gintas.
[10] Directly behind Janina is Juozas -- her second husband.

The next group is the family of Janina's sister Dana
[11] Dana is standing to the right of Janina as you look at this photo.
[12] Dana's husband Juozas Siugzdinis is standing directly behind Dana.
[13] Dana's son Vidas Siugzdinis is standing to the right of Charles Kupchella.
[14] Dana's daughter-in-law Vaida is standing between Rick & Charles Kupchella
[15-16] Dana's two children - Ignas & Jovita - standing in front of & to the left of her.

[17-18] rick & charles kupchella

then the family at the far right in this photo includes:
[19-20] the couple at the far end is Antanina Kazlauskas (sweater & scarf; she is the daughter of Mary's brother Frank) & her husband - Juozas - at the far right end of the photo.
[21] Frank/Pranas Kazlauskas is Antanina's brother. He's the man with open collared shirt
with beard & mustache - also a son of Mary's brother by the same name (Frank).
Frank's mother (the sister-in-law to our grandmother/great grandmother Mary)
was the last person to live in this home.
When she died the family sold it to an attorney from Kaunas.

Whew!
Got all that?!

Fantastic photos of a wonderful family gathering! In Darsuniskis, are there families with the last name JURKONIS or ZUZEVICIUS or GRAZEVICIUS that you know of? I wish that I could obtain a local phonebook!

Wow, how did you put this reunion together!? My mom's maiden name is Kazlauskas -- she's from St. Clair, PA -- I have recently become interested in learning more about my family tree -- I know that Kazlauskas is a common name, so it's probably unlikely that we're related, but do you have any advice for me as I begin this quest? Thanks!! Beautiful photos, thanks for posting them

DO you know if there is a link between these family members and John Kazluskas of Duxbury, MA (USA), formily of Lowell,MA? I must say Algirdas looks a lot like my farther John.
