RUDIS a Lithuanian Surnam Tacoma, WA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #418 Jan 19, 2012 I have a Lithuanian relative whom our family legend calls "Rudis the Red". He changed the name due to the political climate, and the family believed he changed it to something that sounds like Shakez or Sharekees.......I located the Stravinskas family in Vilkiautinis, LT but have yet to find Rudis the Red. I will try the Lithuanian phone book to look for the Rudis surname because I made the incorrect assumption that Rudis was a given name...... ********** Stephanie-13 wrote: My last name is Rudis, i was always told that it was a Lithuanian name. Ofcoarse i would ask my father or his father, but they both died when i was young, and i don't talk to that side of my family anymore. I was just wondering if you could help me at all because i'm just trying to find out something about my heritage. I believe that my grandfather was completely Lithuanian, unless i've been told wrong. Thanks for any help.

Rudis is brown or red haired, indeed. You should look also for Rudys.

S Henry AOL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #424 Feb 1, 2012 My maiden name was Miksis. My paternal grandfather from Lithuiania. He died when I was 3. My paternal grandmother was from Poland. I know nothing about my Lithuianian heritage. Was hoping to find out what this name means, where it is from. I am not sure it was spelled this way in Lithuiania. Thank you.
Cindy from CT Granby, CT	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #425 Feb 20, 2012 I have been searching the ancestry of Mary Sophie Uszik. Does Uszik sound as though i tis Lithuanian? She was born in Lithuania according to US 1930 Census. Family legend is that she emigrated to US when she was just a young girl. I could not find name similar to Uszik in Ellis Island passenger lists. Can you help? my mail is cin567 at g mail Thank you!
Heather Pittsburgh, PA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #427 Mar 6, 2012 I am doing some research for my mother in law on her family. I have found her grandmother Elzbieta Trauskauskiute's name on a marriage license in 1902. Could this spelling even be close to what it actually was? If it is, is the name common in Lithuania or was it particular in a certain region. Thanks, Heather

Vaidas Vilnius, Lithuania	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #431 Mar 11, 2012 Hmm.Somehow i thought that closest name should be mikas.Hard to tell because not every name has its equivalent in other language.Like you dont give people a name that represents a three like Egle :)

Anyway, it's Lithuanian name.
Amber Usas-king Delphos, OH	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #435 Mar 18, 2012 I had a teacher once ask me where my last name came from, I had no clue. No one has ever asked me that before, they just made fun of it and called me "useless". So I went home and asked my father, and he said Lithuanian. I still haven't figured out who came to America , I know my great grandpa was here, and I do believe he was the first in our family. So is Usas lLithuanian?

Shannon Kenmore, WA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #437 Apr 8, 2012 Hi - I am trying to track my grandfather's family and entry into the US from Lithuania (pre-1905 when he was born in NY)- I am having trouble because I assume they changed their name at some point. By the 1930s, my grandfather was going by "Francis (Frank) Anthony Jordan" - on his death certificate, it says his mother's name was "Jusatis". I can't seem to find anyone matching them with that name or a close variation either before I find him in the 1930s. Can anyone help with other possible spellings of a varient on Jusatis or Jordan? Thanks!

Vitalija Kaunas, Lithuania	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #439 Apr 14, 2012 Hi, Karilas, I have a student in my class whose last name is Rimdzeviciute. You probably know it is a maiden surname Karilas wrote: Hi Kris, you seem well up on lithuanian names, wondered if you could help me out a bit with mine, if you please. My grandfather came over to england shortly after the second world war [i think] bringing the name Rimdzevicius with him, I'd ask him about it all, but sadly he died of a massive heart attack when I was only two, anyhooo, I was just wondering if you could tell me exactly how that should be pronounced, as I've always said, wait a sec, how can I best write the phonetics? ah yes, "Rim-dzev-it-chus" or thereabouts and since my whole family is english none of them are 100% certain! I really know very little about the lithuanian language and lithuanian names, but it would be quite nice to know a little about mine if you can help me thank you kindly

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Taurus

Get involved in financial transactions at your peril under today's Lunar Eclipse, because certain people will use them as a stick to beat you with. For instance, if you ask someone to lend you money they'll either make you feel guilty about it or dredge up all sorts of past instances when their trust was betrayed. You would also be well advised to avoid any show of possessiveness or jealousy, even if you feel it, unless you truly don't care about the disastrous outcome.
