Constance Vadunas 1917
Yet another unrelated Vidunas, this female is found in the 1930 census for Pittsburgh, Allegheny County PA. She was about 13 years old, lived with her widowed mother Valeria Vadunas, and her siblings Edward age 16, Albert age 15, William age 11, Joseph age 8, Harry age 6 and Ellen age 5. The lived on 1925 Sidney Street in Pittsburgh, and both parents were Lithuanian immigrants.

In looking at my Ancestry.com entries for her, I find some discrepancies. I have entered that her father Paul Vidunas died sometime before 1940 (I have since amended this to read before 1930, to reflect Valeria's widowed status in that census). Her brother Anthony "Gus" died in 1950 when she was about 33. Brother Jerome died 1958, Joseph died 1967, Albert died 1977 and mother died 1982. Sister Helen/Ellen died 1992, brother William died 1995, Edward died 2003.

I don't have any record of her marriage, nor of her death. Nothing about her life. Oh, yes. The name in the census is written as Vadunas, but I don't let that worry me too much. Here's why. If you say the name Vidunas, with an accent, it can come out as Vadnas quite easily. Sometimes the owners of the names themselves weren't too keen on proper spelling until about 1940s or so.
