Help the search for our ancestors from Olkeniki!

The LitvakSIG has vital records from the Vilnus Archives for many years, primarily the 1850-1900 time frame.  In addition, the SIG has recently acquired the 1811 Revision List (census) for Olkeniki (Valkininkai). 

Funds are needed to translate these records!  Donations, which may be tax-deductible, can be made on the LitvakSIG website, http://www.litvaksig.org; click on the "Become a Contributor" link on the middle of the home page.

There are multiple sets of records that are being worked on simultaneously: one is for Revision Lists (census) (the first Contribution Option on the Donation form); another is for Vital Records (the second Contribution Option on the donation form).

To donate to the translation of the 1811 Revision List, please select the first option; select "Trakai" for the District, and Valkininkai as the Shtetl.  To donate to the translation of vital records (Birth, Marriage, Death, Divorce), please select the second option; choose Valkininkai from the drop-down list.
