----------------------------Original message---------------------------- One of our patrons, who does not have internet access, wishes to identify the following locality, given in a petition for naturalization dated 1903: Develiki, county of Mariampol, government of Suwalki, Russia The spelling is almost certainly phonetic. An extensive search of Russian, Polish, and Lithuanian maps at UC Irvine was unsuccessful. I would be most grateful for any help--from positive identification to wild, off-the-top-of-the-head suggestion--you may be able to give me.
