This is a list of Jewish taxpayers in Zeimelis (Zeimel), Posvol District,
Lithuania, during the period 1920-24.  The data base was obtained
from YIVO, and brought to me in Israel for translation of the Yiddish/Hebrew
into English.  The document is part of YIVO's Lithuanian Jewish Communities
Collection, and is found in YIVO Folder 433.

 It should be obvious that the two main factors for us in presenting
these tax payments are:

1.  If someone suddenly appears sometime after the first time period,
     then he may have just then moved into Zeimel, and
2.  If someone suddenly disappears before the last time period,
then he may have then moved away from Zeimel.  A fringe benefit is that
the relative amounts paid show who was wealthy and who was poor!  It
was interesting to see that the larger tax payers appeared at the head
of the list, and those paying small taxes at the end.  Also, for the
first period, there are two lists;  one apparently is the first one,
and the second one (for which many of the amounts are higher) may be
the result of a second nudnicking of the Jews there to get them to pay
more money!
