Joseph's surname has been spelled a variety of ways: Kaminchaitis, Kamichitis, Kamacaites, Kamiczaitis and Kamicaitis, among other varied misspellings such as Kumiczuetes, Kamiczaites and Kamenczitis. It seemed like each branch picked their own spelling. oseph, used Kaminchaitis and some of his descendants changed the name to Cummings. Joseph's brother, George, used Kamichitis, while his other brother, John, seems to have used Kaminchaitis but John's son shortened the surname to Kamie while his other children used Kamichaitis (no N) and Kamichitis. Joseph's sister, Mary used Kamacaites before marrying Michael Sherrock.
Joseph Kaminchaitis was born in Lithuania and left from Sterpolitz for Rotterdam in 1905. In July 1905, he left Rotterdam and arrived in New York. By 1920, he was living in Scranton, Pa. with his wife, Katrina. Katrina had two children from a prior marriage, Andrew "Heinzie" and Pauline "Polly."
Joseph and Katrina had 6 children together: George Peter, Anna (she married Albert Sossong, Frank Coleman and Henry Dormagen), Joseph J., John Joseph, Leonard Paul and Catherine Jean. All the children took the name Cummings (some had their name legally changed).
Joseph was a coal miner with the Briggs Coal Company in Scranton. His health suffered from black lung and he applied for benefits.
Sometime after 1940, the family moved from Scranton to Clarks Summit to an area they named Cummings Pond.
His nephew, John G. Kamichitis, is memorialized here.
Joseph was one of 6 children of Andrew Kaminchaitis and his wife, Anna. The other children were:
George Kamiczaites (or Kamichitis)

Anna Kaminchaitis Miller (Milisauskas/Milisauckas) - family stories say she went back to Lithuania and died there. I haven't found her past the 1930 U.S. census. (some trees say she died in 1995 in Scranton but haven't found proof)
