Re: Birth Certificate Resources, Rokiskis, 1910

[Ann Rabinowitz arabinow@bellsouth.net]

X-No-archive: yes
All existing vital records for Rokiskis have been obtained by the Rokiskis SIG
and entered into the Litvak SIG's All Lithuania Database (ALD).

There are no birth records in existence for the time period you are interested
in. This is not unusual for shtetls in Lithuania. For instance, Kupiskis, only
has birth records for certain birth records only after 1900 and no any before.

Perhaps you are looking for the incorrect year for your relative or have the
incorrect spelling of your relative's surname. In that case, a record might turn
up. An instance of this is my long time search for my uncle Max Hillman and his
family's birth records. This year, I finally found them all, but listed under
Illman, Ullman and Hillman in Linkuva, Lithuania and Bauska, Latvia.

In some cases, if your relative obtained an Internal Passport in Lithuania,
there might be a copy of the birth record in the file which is located in the
Archives. All existing Internal Passports that have been translated up to now
are to be found in the Litvak SIG Districts. I suggest looking through the
Internal Passport records and then if you find that your relative's name is
there, then order the file from the Archives. Unfortunately, individuals did not
always obtain their Internal Passport in the town where they were born.

Good luck in your search.
