Thank you so much! I knew boundaries were tenuous at best during that time, which is why I joined your group. I thought I could probably learn from you and your followers about that general area. Thanks again!

I've posted some maps on the History Forum page of the group. Of course there was no "Latvia" during much of the 1800s. Technically Lithuania didn't exist then either. But I hope the progression of maps will help you here.
Rene,
You posted to John on my profile page, rather than in the Lithuanian group. I know that I've read about people finding records in St. Petersburg, Russia, but I don't know how, where, when. I think I've been on the website for Russian Archives before, but I didn't know what to make of it. But there ARE records of some Lithuanians held in Russian records. Sorry I can't give more info.
