My name is Elizabeth, I live in Argentina and I am looking for my family tree, if somebody could help me.
My mother's surname is Gutauskaite (it is very unusual, mostly here: she is the only in Argentina). My grandmother's name was Pauline, she arrived in Argentina in 1930,She was from Kupiskis, she was single and probably born between 1900 - 1910, her mother's name was Ursula, and her father's name was Daniel, her sisters Aniella, Kasimiera, Salomeja , Pranusa, Anabella (who was blind) and her brothers were Prañis (I don't know if I am writing it correctly, my grandmother was illiterate and I know the names from her pronunciation. What I know was that she was poor and she had a lot of sisters and brothers, almost all of them were illiterate, so was my grandmother. Only one brother had been to school. She wanted money for buying land to settle in there. She asked for permission to go out of the country to work, her brother opposed. So, she run away from home. I think she didn't realice of the dangers, the language barrier. Her intention was to go to the USA, God knows how she got here. All her documents were stolen. She became pregnant, and she was a single mother. Other family rised up my mother, but Pauline was always in contact with her. When old, my mother took her to live with us. She was my lovely grandma, I will never forget her strange accent (she never speak spanish -our language- clearly), her presence beside me and her beautiful blue eyes. She died when I was 6 years old. Hope you know somebody, I keep my fingers crossed. Maybe we are relatives, hopefully! If not, thank you for reading this message. Greetings from Argentina
Elizabeth
