Hello, all...
I would appreciate it so much if someone could answer some questions about Cybańce (Cybance) in Alytus County for me. I am trying to determine if this is indeed the town my grandfather emigrated from in 1903. I believe the village is known today as Cibonys, but back then my records indicate it was Cybansky, in the Kolesniki (Kalesninkai) Parish, the Orany gmina, Wilno-Troki powiat. I think the church in the town was Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, or something like that. It was part of Russia at that time. Can anyone verify any of this? If this is his village, I intend to plan a visit to learn more about my heritage. I look forward to hearing from you!

I have a friend who lives and works in the City of Alytus. Her Daughter also lives with her. At this moment she is very busy constructing a new building, so she may not be able to help you right away. But perhaps her Daughter can help. The Daughter is 26 Years old and does have a baby to take care of, but I think she will know that area very well. She could steer you to a parish Priest that could give you much information I am sure. I was there 3 weeks ago and again about 7 months back. However, please write to my VTmail address as I do not wish to put their address out on the forum. ........Jon
