Markelis/Merkelis - confirmation of immigration village
I have been fortunate to find my husband's grandmother and great-grandfather's immigration.However I need someone with knowledge of Lithuania to verify the village she came from.
She immigrated as Agneska Maikelis on November 12, 1903 on the ship Pennsylvania.Ellis Island listed her last place of residence as STNIZKY.I cannot find anything near that spelling using ShtetlSeeker town search.She listed her nationality as Russian although I know Lithuania was part of Russia at that time.
Her father immigrated on June 15, 1891 as Petras Mrkelli on the Aurania.Stated he was Prusen.
I am positive this is my husband's family.I would appreciate if someone could look at Agneska Maikelis on the Ellis Island site and verify the residence.I would be forever grateful.
