Some of you may be aware that Howard Margol has been ill. He has stepped
down as Coordinator of the LitvakSIG Internal Passport Project, which he
founded in 2007 after discovering these very valuable documents on a trip
to Lithuania.

I will be overseeing the completion of the translations of the Vilnius
Passports. Please direct any questions to me at <esjoachim@...>.

New Internal Passport files for the city of Vilnius have been added to the
Vilnius IP Shutterfly website,
<https://vilniusinternalpassports19191940.shutterfly.com>.

The files include 4,948 new records. If you are already a Qualified
Contributor to the Vilnius IP project, you may view the data by logging
into the website.

If you are not a Qualified Contributor to the Vilnius IP Project, you may do
so by contributing $100 to LitvakSIG. Go to www.litvaksig.org/contribute and
choose Internal Passports under Special Projects.

This new data will become available in the All Lithuania Database 18 months

from now. At the same time, it becomes available in the JewishGen Lithuania

Database.

Thank you,
