Hi Tina,
I know my great grandparents stayed in Philadelphia, would have been 1884 to 1930's for them and some great grandchildren are still in Bridesburg area. On 1900 census they list Lithuanian,but considered themselves Polish. I have a 2nd cousin who knows what town they're from but won't tell me..I was going to see if she'd at least tell me if they were from Suwalki province.She has a picture of them, 1890's I suspect, with an unidentified man who I believe is related to them. Can't say for certain but perhaps he moved to one of the areas you mentioned..do you have any family arriving 1884-86? Maybe they sailed with some other family that are in your lines. I can't find where they lived 1884 to 1900, was going to see if I could out exactly when they moved to the 1900 address. Like so many other people on these forums, I sure could have used the 1890 census. I know we post at a lot of the same forums so will be sure to let you know if I find out anything.Kristie
