Kaunas Archives Records
I've obtained records for my family from the following record groups:
1846 Candle Tax List
1858 Rabbi's Electors List
1877 Box Tax List
|
These do not provide much information beyond name, but in many cases, are the only
available evidence that a person lived in the town in a particular year.
|
There are no extant vital records for Uzpaliai. The following records,
which involve Uzpaliai people, were located by Ann Rabinowitz, in her research on Kupiskis
and South Africa.
