Thank you for your message! I think ...Hi, Jessi --<br /><br />Thank you for your message! I think it's great that you're pursuing a Lithuanian persona! There aren't a whole lot of us, but I am hopeful that there will be more. After all, in the High Middle Ages and the Renaissance, western European nobles would have heard of Lithuania and vice versa.<br /><br />Have you heard of the Slavic Interest Group, or SIG? It's the SCA-wide group for people interested in Eastern Europe -- from Kievan Rus to the Balkans, and including Lithuania, Poland and the Baltic region. There is a mailing list, too. Here are the links:<br /><br />http://slavic.freeservers.com/<br />http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sig/<br /><br />SIG people are very supportive of each other's efforts. The group has even had three "Slavic University" events, and I hope there will be more in the future.<br /><br />Sėkmės ir linkėjimai!Patricia of Trakaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10749588384988572343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399415742440821431.post-53784070833609107392012-03-28T20:37:59.402-04:002012-03-28T20:37:59.402-04:00Hi, I'm Jessi from Georgia.

I'm relatively new to the SCA (haven't officially joined yet, but I've been apart of a baby group in Athens for the past 3 years) and I'm trying to do a Lithuanian persona. I come from the Bendzunas family (from upstate New York and later Chesapeake, Virginia) and wanted to because my mom instilled in me a strong respect for my heritage. Up until yesterday, I thought I was the only one pursuing Lithuania in the SCA, because no one around here knew of anyone. But I'm glad to find out I'm far from being the only one.
