Constant Joseph Vidunas II 1918 - 1991

Mini Pedigree from Ancestry.com

Constant Joseph Vidunas, aka Konstanta, was born in 1918 to Kostanta Vidunas age 38 and Adelaide Rakita Vidunas age 25.  He married Catherine Markulin in 1943, they had two children.  He died in 1991 and is buried in Annville PA.

As far as I can tell, he is not a relation of mine.  However, I still labour under the delusion that all Vidunas people are related, since there just aren't that many of us.

1936

Here is the lower page of the Vandergrift PA yearbook showing Constant Joseph Vidunas, age about 18.  I think he looks a lot like my own son at that age.
