General Information Entries from the 1929 Polish Business Directory

Note: A * in the column "TOWN" indicates that the town was not given in the 1929 Directory, but was assigned based on geographic coordinates. A hyperlink in the "YIZKOR" column brings up the town's entry in the Yizkor Book Database.

Clicking on highlighted locality names will bring up the 1929 business directory listings.

Note: There is another Motol at 5219/2536; there is a Yizkor book for that Motol, not the one near Voronovo. Also, Dieviniskes is today in Lithuania. Dieviniskes was not in Lida Uyezd, but very near the boundary between Lida and Oshmiany. In order to make information on Dieviniskes available, it is listed here. When there is an Oshmiany Uyezd web site, the information will be transferred to it.
