This is just a hunch to try Leonidas looks Lithauian Look in Scrantan, PA
area
many immigrants Came there to work in the Mines. When we toured a museum
there They noted a large amount of eastern eurpean workers that came and could
only get work at dangerous mines . Some stayed close to others of their faith
and some married out side their faith or ethnic back ground and became very
American.
Just a thought.
