I am trying to find any information on my stepdad's grandmother. I will attempt to give you what i know to be real. Father Piotr (Peter) Schulejka/Schulejko, Mother Petranella, Brothers Joe and Bronik born 1896, Sisters Gertude born 1905 and Mary 1902. They lived in Vilna, Wilno Poland. Salonija immigrated to US in 1914, according to Ellis Island records when coming to the US, her name read as Salomeja Szulejko. She had a cousin that immigrated through Canada Adam Szulej. The rest of her family remained in Poland. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. I have been told her brother Joe was a doctor, but i have been unable to find any facts on that.

If they lived in Wilno (Vilnius) maybe you should refer to the Vilnius Regional Archives:

Archival services are payable in advance and depend on the type of extracted documents.
