Localities in Lida District

List from 1929 Polish Business Directory Ksiega Adresowa Handlowa [Merchant Book of Addresses], Warszawa Bydgoszcz 1929
Compiled by Ellen Sadove Renck

Many of these localities did not have a Jewish Community. Yet this does not mean that no Jewish families lived there. Shmarya Levin [1867-1935] was born and grew up in Swizlowitz, a Shtetl at the confluence of the Svisla and Beresina Rivers in Belarus. I have not been able to find it unambiguously in ShtetlSeeker, but Levin says, in his autobiography, Childhood in Exile, [1975 reprint by Arno Press of 1929 ed. by Harcourt, Brace, p 8] that it wasn't far from Borisov [54 15 lat 28 30 long], ENE of Minsk. On page 86, Levin says: "On Rosh Hashannah, New Year's Day, the Yishuvniks came to town. There is no word for Yishuvnik in English, for the type is unknown to the language. They are Jews who live abandoned in the midst of some village or settlement, alien figures in a world not their own. Months may pass before they see the face of another Jew. Only on the High Holidays they leave their occupations, and flock to the nearest Jewish centre". If there was a word for them, there must have been quite a lot of them. We provide as thorough a list as possible to assist the descendants of Yishuvniks from Lida District.

If you see no coordinates, we could not identify this locality on modern maps. Many tiny hamlets have been abandoned over the years, or names changed beyond recognition. If you did not find a locality with coordinates listed here on the Lida Uezd Towns page [on the navigation bar at left],  we have no other information about it. To find the nearest locality with  information, use the Jewishgen Communities Database and Jewishgen Gazeteer's "search for places by location - radius search" function with the coordinates from this table.

NOTE: There is a second Belitsa east of the Belitsa in Lida District. There is a second Butrymonis northeast of Alytus, Lithuania. Mariampol, Lida District at 54 34/ 25 19 is NOT the Mariampol, Lithuania at 54 34/ 23 21 that has an independent KehilaLinks site. [Kris Nekvedavicius informed me (2006) that there is no Mariampol at this latitude in Belarus]. There are shtetlach named Nowy Dwor and Szczuczyn in Poland in addition to the ones in Lida District, Belarus. Olninek: it's tempting to think this unknown place represents a typo for Olkinek/Olkieniki, now in Lithuania. At 5421/ 2450, it's north of the boundary of Nowogrodek wojed., however. Zelva: There's a Zelva in Lithuania, north of Vilnius. There's another Zelva in Belarus, south of Lida District. Both places are larger than Zelva in Lida District, which is today called Velkaves. References to Jews in Zelva are far more likely to be referring to the other 2 Zelvas. In general, be aware that names were often duplicated.
