Surnames: Mikalajunas, Nicol
My teenage children want to know their background. Their grandfather Leonard Nicol was probably brought to Scotland as a toddler after 1903 but before 1914. On his Dux medal from his school in Motherwell he is named Zigmont Nicol. Third hand info has suggested his surname was originally Mikalajunas and the family was from Suvalki(?) He was from an all boy family apparently. One or two brothers were killed in WW1. At least two including Leonard moved to England and had photography businesses in Manchester and Bristol (?). Any information confirming Leonard's original name, his parents or siblings names would be very gratefully recieved. Leonard died in the early 1980s totally out of contact with family. My kids don't necessarily want to bother living relatives but are keen to know where they come from.
