Cherrie,
Glad I could help.
Any where from 1/3 to 1/2 of immigrants who came to the U.S. in the 1880 - 1920 era eventually returned back to their native lands.
Unless these are your ancestors, it's possible this family returned to Lithuania after 1918 when the country regained its independence or at some other time.
My grandfather's brother-in-law did that after the wife died and he was left with two children to take care of here in the U.S.
