RUZANTIS

Hi Pat,
I need to send you what I have on the above family as I have been
researching it and contacted living family members. Your information is
all mixed up so we need to get it right for the web.
After I do that I want to send you a ship log I found because I think this
is Martin's first wife and 4 children coming here. Everything is so close
that I want your opinion but without all the information correct you
wouldn't be able to decipher.
Helen (John Ruzantis mother). Her name was Helen Sincavage (or Alena
Sinkeviciene) (after her 2nd marriage to Benjamin (not Bartholomeow). Her
father was Carl Zinker and Mary ? in Lithuania. I got this from her death
certificate filled out by her daughter Lucy. I was also lucky to find who
I think was her brother Frank in the census in CT and they had John a
newphew living with them. although they used their own name I think this
was my grandfather who was staying with them while his family was in
Suwalki. This has all been another exciting find.
Take care...............Pennye
