Serunitz, Lithuania 1907
My deceased father-in-law's US Petition for Naturalization document indicates his place of birth as Serunitz, Lithuania on 18 October 1907 however, I am unable to locate any such place on a map of Lithuania.
Any idea where in Lithuania this town may have been?

The ship manifest lists the city of birth as Shirwint. The local spelling of this would most likely be Schirwindt, an extinct town on the German-Prussian border. There is considerable information about this town at https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-extinct-town-of-schirwindt-kudirkos-naumiestis-lithuania
Hope this sheds some light on your search. Happy hunting!
