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.
