33988 Orangelawn, Livonia, MI 48150 USA

Surname(s): BALKIEWICZ/BALKUS
Region(s) Lithuania/Vilnius?
Religion Roman Catholic: My fathers last name was BALKUS, but it was spelled BALKIEWICZ on his birth certificate. B. January 29, 1924 as CHARLES BALKIEWICZ, in Detroit, Michigan. His fathers name was also Charles, and his mothers name was CHARLOTTE. I do not know his mothers maiden name. I only know that Charles and Charlotte immigrated to America from Lithuania in the early 1900s. My father was born in Detroit in 1924. Charlotte also had a daughter, Valerie. Both Charlotte and Valerie died, and somewhere between 1930 and 1935, Charles Balkiewicz remarried. My father was 'removed' from his home, and spent the rest of his childhood living with relatives in and around the Detroit area. These relatives are not 'blood' related, but close friends. ADOMITIS is one last name of a 'friend' of the family he lived with.; I'd just like ANY information ANYONE can supply? Especially from people living in Lithuania today, who share the BALKIEWICZ last name?
