I don't suppose it is possible to find out where in Russia the family came from and Jacobs parents names?

On his Naturalization card it states Jacob arrived in the US June 17th 1903. Names and address of witnesses were:

Abe Flink 2048 Kendall Street
Marmillian Spatz 4337 Hazel Ave.

Was thinking Marmillian could be relative of Marys?

Just had another look at the census- in 1930 Jacobs place of Birth is written as Kovono, Russia- Russia is then crossed out and replaced with Lithuania. His parents birth place is listed as Kovono Russia.
