   Kupiškis is known in Yiddish as Kupishok which more than likely is your site

  We have a patron with immigration/naturalization papers for both his
father and grandfather, dated 1902, listing place of birth as
Kopishich/Kopisich, Lithuania. He would like to locate this place on a
map. None of our atlases, historic or otherwise, have been helpful. Also
checked the list of place names on www.fallingrain.com
without success. Any ideas? Thanks.
