Vital records for towns in the Telsiai District and Internal Passport records for the Telsiai District were obtained through special cooperation between the LitvakSIG VR and IP Project Coordinators, Aaron Roetenberg and Howard Margol, respectively.

This data will be put on the All Lithuania Database about 12 months after it was distributed to our contributors who have the exclusive privilege of receiving the data in Excel format.

We hope if you are researching any of the towns in Telsiai District, you will consider joining our efforts so we can keep up our pace of activity.
