Research notes In 1910 my grandfather and his two cousins shiped out of Hamburg Germany and arrived in the United States as Josef Schwedt, Dominik and Stan. The ships manifest shows that they were of the race Lithuanian and from the country of Russia and the town of Borowo. By 1913 my grandfather spelled his name Joseph Szwed and setteled in Detroit Michigan. His WWI draft card states he was born in Lida Wilanska Russia. I am trying to locate his birth records and to find them I would first need to identify Borowo Russia of occupied territory in Lithuania in the time period of 1910. Can anyone help me solve this mystery?
