A village near Marijampole. A few Jewish families lived there until WWI.
Note from Marcia Carol Abramson: Our family (the Potashinskis) lived there until 1941 (when they were all killed). I believe all the Jewish families were heavily intermarried -- the Potashinskis, the Babinskis and the Puskelnians. My grandma was Potashinski. Her sister was massacred with her family in September 1941.
