Note: It's very likely that Mary Starinskas Rinkus was the sister of Anthony Starinskas, though I have found no direct link. However, when Anthony arrived in the U.S., he listed Joseph Rinkevicius as a "friend" from whom he would receive some initial support. Joseph Rinkevicius (Rinkus) was married to Mary Starinnskas. Mary, Anthony Starinskas, and Joseph Rinkus are all buried in the same cemetery (Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Cemetery), and both families named their daughters "Eugenia" and "Blanche."
