PASKIEWICZ   

   FROM VILNA 

Paskiewicz Family: Starynki /Vilna/ Plymouth, PA/ Detroit, MI    (Var: Paszkiewicz)

Paskiewicz Family From Starynki, var Starinki, and in Russian:  Старынкі  (Latitude: 53º52' Longitude: 26º46').  

INTRODUCTION:   While I have a wealth of information on my maternal side, my father's side is almost a blank. The family was not close, and genealogy is difficult considering the language barrier, two world wars, and that this family, though not without interest, consists of working people and shop owners, without a good paper trail. It also seems that Eastern European immigrants left the old world behind- and did not want to perpetuate the language and traditions, wanting to quickly assimilate. This is just a small beginning to understand my own namesake.  

PASKIEWICZ   Russian Spelling: Pashkevich

Paskiewicz is the 69,279th most popular surname in the United States

SPELLING Variations: Paskiewicz, Paszkiewicz, Pascavage, Puscavage  Other variations- but not related to: Paskavage, Paskawicz, Paskewicz, Paskewits, Paskevitch, Paskevich Paskovak Paskavic  Pascovich Paskovice  Pacsavic Paskovic Paskovich Peskovic Peskovich Pachovic  Pazkewitz Pazkowitz Pazkiewiez Pazkiswcz Baskiewicz
 

NOTE: LINK HERE TO THE PASCAVAGE FAMILY FROM VILNA WHO SETTLED IN PLYMOUTH PA.  With their own page.  Note from our initial excitment of linking together- there is at present no hard evidence linking this Paskiewicz page with the Pascavage family. Both come from Plymouth, PA coincidently, and only an anecdote of a visit to 52 Franklin Street connected us- But that visit would have to have taken place after WWII. We have had close ties with Plymouth, PA, and someone living and dying there would be recent, not ancient history. I will keep that Pascavage page posted.
