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.
