Joseph Maskialis

Notes:

My great-grandfather. I have the village and town where he was born thru my
verbal family contact, usually Tony Maskelis from Toronto. Joseph had five
children. I'm guessing at his birth date by the ages of the children. I'm also
guessing that he was a farmer as most of the family was in Lithuania. These
facts I know because Tony was still a young boy living there before they immagrated to Toronto and he remembers running across the farm lands to visit
with our relatives.

I have just recently located another Maskelis family in New Britian, CT, but cannot connect them as yet into how they work into the family. I have lost contact with Tony, so he cannot help me. I'm trying to find out if he has passed away or in a convalesent home in Toronto.

This other family consists, so far, of Peter Maskelis, son of John Maskelis and Catherine Petalutas, all born in Lithuania. Peter, born February 2, 1887 and died October 11, 1952. Married Genevieve (Milius, Milutas) born January 3, 1887 (Lithuania) and died April 25, 1972. They had two children (known only as of this date, 10\1996) Edward V. Maskelis (most probably Victor) born July 28, 1921? (at his death July 11, 1969 he was 47 years 11 months and 14 days old). He was born in New Britian, CT. Aldona Maskelis born June 11, 1920 in New Britian, CT and died June 25, 1963 in New Britian, CT. I have all the death certificates and the cemetary records for these for people.
