The name my grandfather and mother went by is Sakievich. This happened about the time the family came to Baltimore, MD. I was told this is a Russinized version of the name.
Kaunas is farther to the North but still close enough. Punskas is now known as Punsk and is located in Poland.
Always hoping to make a connection.
