This page is going to disappear and be replaced by the full story of how the four major family branches have gone from Lithuania to everywhere they are today. The account will ultimately be accompanied by source citations.

As of 1/17/12, the directory pages have all been entirely reformatted to accommodate the next generation of descendants. Every family member will now be listed with current hometown and email address.

NOTICE: 4 Feb 2011: Big news, cousins. A whole other branch of the family has been rediscovered, and our family tree now has FIVE major branches! Welcome the Glass branch of the Briss Family! New pages will be added to the family tree and directory, as well as a page about how the Glasses were reunited with the Briss tree after 80 years!
