Hi Barb.
I'am of relation to the Cepaitis family. My name is Alexander Cepaitis. I was
born in Canada, but my grandfather was from Lithuania. His name is Peter Paul Cepaitis (
our family changed the spelling of the Cepaitis name to- Chapates, after moving to
Canada.) My grandmothers name is Mary Jane Cepaitis. My fathers name was Michael Peter
Cepaitis. I'am not sure what or if there is a connection here, our family seems to be
spread over Canada, U.S., and parts of Europe, so it is quite possible that we are related
to Jonas Cepaitis. I recall seeing a ship manifest for a Jonas Cepaitis on the internet a
year ago, he set sail from Greece to America I believe in the 1920's, or possibly
earlier. I don't know that you have any information to offer me, but I'am the
board admistrator for the Cepaitis board, so you can email me anytime, if you like, with
any information you may be able to pass on.
Thanks for your time!
