Battle Ground Library Hosts Travelogue Event.
Join Vancouver residents Gary Kokstis and Katlin Smith as they share their three week journey to Lithuania to reunite their family on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at the Battle Ground Community Library at 4 pm.
In Search of Family: A Journey to Lithuania. In 1909, Gary Kokstis’ grandfather immigrated from Lithuania to the US. None of his family returned to Lithuania until 2010 when Vancouver resident Gary and his wife, Katlin Smith, located Gary’s long-lost relatives, who didn’t realize they had American cousins. This is a program about their three-week trip to Lithuania to reunite the family and meet cousins for the first time. Their travelogue will include photos of this beautiful Baltic country.
The Battle Ground Community Library is located at 1207 SE 8th Way, in the Battle Ground Village. Battle Ground Village is also home to some great dining and shopping, so why not make an evening of it?
