George Pauksztis
We’re not entirely sure how George is related to us. Here is what we know about him:
He bought the plot where Stanislawa Paukstiene, Julia Brindza (our great-grandmother), and Julia’s daughter Amelia are buried. Stanislawa died in 1927, just a couple years after Korst (our great-grandfather) died, so we assumed they are of the same generation, and since they share a last name, we assumed they are brothers. It’s possible that they are cousins, we just made the easiest assumption.
I found a Petition for Naturalization for George Pauksztis which was signed by our great-grandfather (Korst) and which contains a wealth of information including the name of his wife (Stanislawa). It also names the ship he came into this country on and several other facts about him and his family.
I only have a trial membership to ancestry, so I don’t know if these links will stay visible, but here are links to the documents that I am posting below ( page 1 and page 2)

Because I wanted the documents to be clear, I had to split them up so that I could zoom in more.
Kath, I think the last two pages do not refer to George Paukztys. It’s somebody else whose wife’s name is Libe. It looks like they possibly apply to the next record and were scanned along with George’s information.
Barb- You’re right, it was the back page of the next record. I thought that maybe Libe was a shortened form of Stanislawa for some reason, but now that I look at the previous forms I saw a place where it was typed “no” under children.
