Hi @sean7,809!

Do you happen to know where in Lithuania your great-great-grandfather was born? That is very helpful in locating birth records that would provide the names of the parents. A birth date (even if it is just an estimated birth year) would be great as well.

His grave is in salem nj and his grave says adam paulaitis born in Feb 20th, 1893 and died 1972. But im positive its 1892-1893.For his birth location,It says on his ww2 draft card he was born in Lihoene, Russia,And died in pittsgrove, salem, newjersey. If its not russia its probably Kauno, Lithuania. Adam was married to Mary Paulaitis and marys maiden name was "shupienus" Adam's middle name either started with a C, Or K. Adams son was steven paulaitis born in 1919. kauno, lithuania translates to Kaunas

It says his middle name on his draft card was Kazimeros, I just realized.

I believe this is his naturalization record: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89M8-YF9X?cc=1999177&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3A74GS-R9N2

Using the information about arrival date found on this document, I was able to locate the passenger lists, both the New York passenger list and the Hamburg copy. If you do not have access to Ancestry, let me know and I'll see if I can find you a copy on FamilySearch.

New York: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc=oEe696&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&indiv=1&dbid=7488&gsfn=adam&gsln=p*&msady=1913&msadm=3&_F0005959=august%20victoria&new=1&rank=1&uidh=ed7&redir=false&msT=1&gss=angs-d&pcat=40&fh=0&h=4037644587&recoff=&ml_rpos=1&queryId=dc6ceac435ff6724a2bf26f2ac8d5d5c&_gl=1*1qrg6a0*_ga*OTA1MDQyMjc4LjE2NDE5MzUwNjU.*_ga_4QT8FMEX30*MTY2NTc3OTU4MC4xMzcuMS4xNjY1Nzc5ODY2LjYwLjAuMA..

Both of these documents list a place of birth and/or residence, so it's just a matter of determining what these places are, and where they are/were located.

I have found another person by the name of Kasimer Paulaitis. He is born in 1841 while adam was born in 1893. Kasimers residence is Kowno, which translates to Kaunas. His departure location is bremen. His arrival date to New york, new york, was Jan 15 1898. this might be the one. can you look onto this. Sorry im sending to much messages

Ellie Vance

Sorry to take so long to get these links to you. It's been a crazy week at work. Here is the link to the New York Passenger list on FamilySearch. He is entry number 18. The surname listed is a common Polish variant for your Lithuanian spelling. It's very common to see variations like this. It is a two pager, so be sure to arrow over to the next page to see more info.
