I found out recently that my gg-grandfather lived in a place called
Blagoslowienstwo in the district of Sakiai / Wladyslavow / Suwalki Gubernia
/ Lithuania.
I have documentation dated 1830 but cannot find this place anywhere online.
I would be interested to know if anyone has ever heard of it and has the
name changed ?
