My mothers side of the family is from Anyksciai...family name Vilnonis. I'm just starting to put together what I have "on paper" from immigration records and my folks papers.

I look forward to sharing information and hopefully helping others in the group.
Saul,
I looked at one of the Lithuanian phone directories, there are still two Vilnonis listings in Anyksiai (Audrius and Povilas). Are they relatives you're aware of? People you've contacted? If not, I'd suggest writing to them! There are only 12 listings nationwide for that name, so that bodes well for finding some living relatives, if you haven't already.
