The purpose of this page is to differentiate among the 4 Buivenai and similarly-spelled places in Lithuania. (also adding a few towns beyond the 4 most similarly spelled towns)

  • This town seems promising, simply because it is closer to a larger town than most of the others. Weatherall-96 05:35, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Research Notes

• I started this page during the Wikitree Challenge Week for Melanie (Doherty) McComb. There is indication in DNA research that she may be related to a Gailunas from "Bieveinei" or similar. Melanie’s Gailunas ancestors are Anton and his father Ignaty. Weatherall-96 20:32, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
