Puzonys (Puzonių) not far from Birštonas. I guess Balbieriškis is the second place name, because they needed a church (parish) to get married.

Thank you Virginija! I was able to locate Kazimieras birth record. It has a note on it that I think confirms his marriage date. Would you help me translate this? Here is the image #48: https://www.epaveldas.lt/recordImageSmall/ARCH/1044/1/8?exId=165923&seqNr=48 entry 53, 27 June 1882.
