In 2009, Barbara Misiti DiBenedetto contacted my uncle, John Gregory Yelmokas, to find out information about her biological family. My Uncle John died a few years ago, but his brother Tony Yelmokas found the email letter Barbara originally sent Uncle John. I am following up. Her biological mother was Nellie Yelmokas from Dorchester, MA. I believe Nellie’s her given first name was probably ’Anele’, a pretty common girls name that was often nicknamed "Nellie’. And the correct Lithuanian spelling of the last name is ’Jalmokas’, but was anglicized in the US. The cousins in Lithuanian remain ’Jalmokas’. My given name is Ann Marie Yelmokas (married name is Ann Marie Yelmokas McDermott). I also grew up on South Boston and recently moved back to Randolph MA after living in a number of cities across the country for the past 12 years. I have been working on family genealogy and am interested in contacting Barbara and/or her children to continue working on the family tree here in the US and in Lithuania. I look forward to connecting! Regards, Ann
