Don't forget London, it's full of lithuanians

It's hardly known that (after Slavic ones) Lithuanian surnames in Germany come second-place among non-German surnames .
German-Lithuanian surname Naujoks is the most wide-spead Lithuanian surname worldwide: 1600 hits. When all the derivatives of Lithuanian "naujokas" are included the number is even higher.

This little 1927 map by Hans Mortensen shows the ethnographic border between East-Prussia and Lithuania round 1422.
Before Mortensen's studies historians believed that Lithuanians were autochthons in northern Prussia. In reality,
Lithuanians settled in Prussia only after the Peace Treaty of Melno (1466).
