SURNAME

Does anybody know the meaning of my grandfathers surname, and any alternative spellings, KULVINCKI/KULVINSKI/KULWINSKAS. Could be of Lithuanian, Polish or Russian origin?

Genealogy / KULVINSKI/KULVINCKI/KULWINSKAS [7]

I am trying to research my grandfathers family name and maybe living relatives and would appreciate any help.

I know that he was born in Suwalk/Suwalki in 1890. His old (Russian?) passport states his name as Kulvinski alis Kulvincki. His UK naturalisation papers and marriage certificate show his name as Kulvincki. I have found UK immigration records for Jonas Kulwinskas dated October 1st 1913, which would fit it with information I already have. He always said that he was Lithuanian.

I question is His passport states that he is a Russian citizen, he said that he was Lithuanian and I believe that Suwalki is now in Poland. How do I find his birth certificate (Lithuania, Poland or Russia).

Does anybody know anything about this name?
