As you will discover in this personal account, great grandma can mean all those things and moretough, hardworking, faithful, and highly protective. This book is about a great grandmothers lifefrom her birth in remote Vaznikiai Village in Lithuania in 1891 to traveling to Baltimore under an assumed name in 1912, to marrying another immigrant from a different social economic class in 1914, to the difficult circumstances that she and her siblings faced in building new lives in the United States. Her story is probably very similar to immigrants from her day but has somehow been forgotten. Through old letters, interviews, and genealogical documents, Iewa Dobaites or Grandma Evas life is recalled and her legacy to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren becomes clear.
