Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hi there,
I looked at a couple of resources available on Ancestry.com. The first one was the New York passenger lists for the years 1820-1957. There were 20 Druktenis's listed. 75% of them listed their Nationality as Lithuanian. The next resource I looked at were the World War I draft cards. Many of them listed their birthplace as Lithuania;Russia. Next I looked at the censuses and it appears that many of the older heads of household list their birthplace as Lithuania and Russia.

There is a really great background of Lithuania on wikipedia. Here is the link:

If there is a specific Druktenis you would like for me to look up, drop me a line. Blessings.
