Kaunas ... (most probably district), Svėdasai parish


Explanation:
The second word must be different... cannot think of anything appropriate.

Anyway, the meaning is clear. It is the place your great grandparents come: Svėdasai parish, Kaunas district.

As Lithuanian was under the Russian Empire at that time, the administrative division was different.

Svedasai, Ukmerge uezd, Kaunas gubernia, Latitude: 55ŗ41' Longitude: 25ŗ22', now in Lithuania
Also known as Shvodestz

Svedasai Ukmerge Uyezd was formerly known as Vilkomir Uyezd.

(www.jewishgen.org/Litvak/Shtetls/ssvedasaiuk.htm )

Total hits for Svedasai on google.com: 32

Kaunas (the second largest city in Lithuania, in Central Lithuania)over 98,000 hits on google.com

Hope it helps
