The Bridgeport area, where all good Lithuanians seemed to converge. Attended St. Georrge's Church and school. We moved out of Bridgeport in 1935, but stayed on the good old Southwest side of Chicago. They built a three family flat in Plymouth Pennsylvania at the foot of the hill on which St. Casimer Church was built. It was very sad when I went back one year and found that the church had been taken down and the mountain leveled.
Family still lives in the house.
THe men were mostly coal miners or bar owners. The church was a wonderful center of the community. Can you please tell me if there are church records from pre-1900 thru 1915. I still cannot trace the name of the Lithuanian town that he immigrated from. Would appreciate a reply if anyone has the answer.
