I don't know how much this would help, but understanding the background of the Andrulewiczes and your matriarch's journey to Magdalena may prove to be of some help (See map below.) . The Andrulevicuses are originally from Stakliškės and were openly Jewish. Some remained openly Jewish, with some even immigrating to other parts of Lithuania (See Nik Andrelovich below.), some to Ukranian Russia (Search for Vil'gel'm Andrulevich. This is who Great-Great-Grandma, later Alexandria Andrulewicz Czarnecki, had been visiting when Great-Granddad [later Anthony Czarnecki, Sr.] was born in Cuman [now Tsuman]).

Then again, your matriarch may have come this way (about an eight-day journey):

"Forgiving Maximo Rothman"...

I quietly wondered (and not-so-quietly wonder) if Forgiving Maximo Rothman has anything about Pepi and Zoli in it (and maybe, if I'm blessed, other family members--besides other Rusznaks, not to mention Miklos and Sandor). For example, look what I recently copied and saved from JewishGen (with my own note at the end):

Who knows? After all, Great-Granddad was Michael ("We're Russian!"), his younger brother Francis, and his mom Katarina Szuanna Uszinskyova Gadjoszova. That reminds me, meanwhile, that I have to get back to writing down my family story (though can I really, as I'm learning new-to-me facts, etc. every or almost every day?).

Can Someone Help Me Figure Out What His Cousin's Name Was?
