Will the recordings stay up on the Litvaksig website for a long time, or will they only be up for a short while? And are they available for anyone to view, or must a person first register for an account on Litvaksig?
It would be great to have these recordings available long term for anyone to view. Oftentimes on the Facebook Jewish genealogy groups, there are people posting that the reason a person can't find records on Jewishgen for forebears from Lithuania, is because records were destroyed in the Holocaust. It would be good to be able to direct such persons to these Litvaksig recordings. [I believe most of the time, when someone can't find a record on Jewishgen, it is because they are only looking at one spelling of a surname]. -- Michele Lock Lak/Lok/Liak/Lock and Kalon/Kolon in Zagare/Joniskis/Gruzdziai, Lithuania Lak/Lok/Liak/Lock in Plunge/Telsiai in Lithuania Rabinowitz in Papile, Lithuania and Riga, Latvia Trisinsky/Trushinsky/Sturisky and Leybman in Dotnuva, Lithuania Olitsky in Alytus, Suwalki, Poland/Lithuania Gutman/Goodman in Czestochowa, Poland Lavine/Lev/Lew in Trenton, New Jersey and Lida/Vilna gub., Belarus |
