Re: Location of Saleije? #lithuania
Carlos Glikson
Rusty Wilson is trying to determine the town of origin of the Wilkorisky
branch of his family. The passenger list manifest lists the town as "Saleije." Perhaps some pronounciation and handwriting "experiments" could lead to Seirijai (Present Lithuanian name) Serey / Sereje/ Seyriyay / Seiriju in South-East Lithuania, about 16 miles SW of the district centre Alytus, 51 miles South of Kaunas and 68 miles WSW of Vilnius. Latitude 54 deg 14', Longitude 23 deg 49' http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/serey/serey.html Rusty mentioned his Wilkorisky branch. Some 30 miles NW of Seirijai is Wilkowyszki/ Vilkavishkis / Vilkaviskis/ Volkaviskio / Vilkaviskio, coord. 5439 2302 , 91.2 miles W of Vilnius and about 30 miles WSW of Kovno. Perhaps they got the name after they left Wilkowyszki and established in Seirijai ? Carlos GLIKSON Buenos Aires, Argentina e-Mail cglikson@... Very happy to find 8 first cousins of my mother!
