The closest I came up with is "Wiciule," in "Parish Affiliations of Villages in the Former Archdiocese of Wilno," a database on the Language and Lineage Press website. (I just added the link to my "Relevant Web Sites" list here.) My guess is that this village is near Druskininkai, Lithuania, and may now be known as Vieciunai ... but that's just a wild guess. Good luck with your research, and keep me posted if you find your village!Basiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420809103804345831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984552444221553799.post-26561636156528855092009-10-19T17:02:50.848-04:002009-10-19T17:02:50.848-04:00Excellent article!

The village on my Great Grandmother's manifest says "Wiculi", never have been able to locate it. Some documents list them as Russian citizens, but ethnic Poles. I've hit a dead end, neither Belarus' or Lithuania's archives can find this woman. But it has been a lot of fun looking into the past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
