Hello,
I am seeking any records of the fire in Pilviskiai (Pilvishok) in 1895. On the kehilalinks page for Pilviskiai (http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/pilviskiai/pilviskiai1.html) the last line of the "Jewish Settlement Till After WWII" section states "Many names of Pilvishok Jews appear in a list of donors for Jewish victims of fires in 1895." My Great Grandfather, Charles Abe FINKELSTEIN (Yiddish name still unknown) came >from Pilviskiai according to his naturalization paperwork. He left in 1900 and would have still been there at the time of this fire. He is said to come >from a large family of 10-12 siblings, though he came to America alone. I know nothing about his family. I am wondering if this information might point me to him/them. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Lindsay Sweetnam Walnut Creek, CA MODERATOR NOTE: Please, only surnames should be typed in upper case letters.
