My avatar is now a picture of my son and me.  smile

I have found a little more information on my Great-Grandfather.

  • His marriage paper shows his name as Franciszek Kierys, married Anna Zglinska 31 May 1908.

  • His Naturalization papers show he was born in Jurežeris (Lithuania) on 15 Sep 1882.

  • He came to America from Hamburg in April 1903 on the ship Batavia.  The ship list shows his name as Franz Keries and he travelled with his uncle also named Franz Keries (born about 1860).

Hello, my name is Dulci Kieres I live in Montana, USA.

I would like help learning about my father's family before they came to America.  My great-grandfather Frank Kieres was born 1885 in Lithuania or Poland or Russia.  He came to America between 1895-1897.  He had a sister named Mary that came also.  I'm sorry I do not know much more than that.

Thank you,
Dulci
