Patti,I went to Lithuania last fall to find my father's ancesters.His family is from Ariogala, which is in the Kaunas province.
His surname in Lithuania is Digrys, the unmarried female form would be Digriete and the married female form would be Digriene.
Therefore I don't think there is a connection.
When my father came to the US the name was changed to Degris.
I don't know if this will help you.Janet
