Vikrojka Russkogo Narodnogo Kartuza

The Rokiskis SIG (Special Interest Group), a group of Rokiskis descendants, has joined together to share our common interest in our ancestors' lives, stories, and our collective history. We are pooling our resources in order to collect as many documents and vital records as we can and we now own the 1897 All-Russian Census for Rokiskis, a number of candle tax records and box tax records, the 1891-1915 Postal Bank Records, the wonderful 1908 Family List, as well as an index to vital records (birth, death, and marriage) from the Kaunas Archives. If you are interested in joining us, please contact the SIG chair.
