Alphonse.

Lithuanians did not really use a version of William in the Immigration era,
except in areas of extreme German influence where you would find Vilhelmas.
Vincas [Vincent] is often anglicized to William. And Boleslavas [Boleslaw]
often became Bill, thus William formally.

John is Juonas. Mary = Marija.
