A lot of my friends would like to purchase it, but I can no longer find them on the web. Perhaps you know the whereabouts of that DVD?
Aciu.

Sharing impressions of Lithuania

http://www.ap-photo.com/lithuania

Last March I went to Lithuania for the first
time to meet my mother's cousin. We did not know they were alive for 28 years until they found us in 2002. I am a photographer and took 1000s of photographs while I was there. I will post photographs of my family in June. In the meantime you can take a look at the
45 photographs of Lithuania I have on my website.

What is the best way to find Lithuanians?

How could I search for relatives who came to the US before the Second World War?

"Draugas," the (only) Lithuanian daily newspaper in the U.S., publishes search notices free of charge. You should provide as much information as possible, such as first name, last name, date of birth, profession/trade, where in Lithuania they were from, etc. Many have found lost relatives by way of "Draugas."
