ArchivesRe: Country of Orgin and a note to Satu
in reply to a message by Ivayla
Hi Ivayla,
Yes, I did discover the Lithuanian dukes as well with the spelling Awgust. I also discovered the name of a woman Awgusta Carolina (first and middle) that was a land owner in 1913 in litvania (or some where near there). I do not know much about the Lithuanian alphabet or why the translation from the english "u" to "w". One of my best friends happens to be Lithuanian (speaks the language fluently), perhaps I should give her a call. As a matter of fact, she just named her new son Augustin (but no "w").
P.S. Ivayla is a beautiful name, and thank you for your response,
Awgust

Correction on Awgusta information. I rechecked and her name was Awgusta Karolina and she lived in Wolynien, which lies in the northwest of today's Ukraine, borders in the north on white Russia, in the south on the Karpaten and in the West on Poland (per the website). There were other individuals named on this site also with the name Awgust (however, I believe they are men).
So, is the name Lithuanian, Russian (Ukraine), Polish, or German. The orgin must be there somewhere.
Just a little more information for anyone who may have some knowledge of these countries.
Thanks again,
Awgust
