A kind of 'digital library' and 'strategy center' for those tracing ancestries in and from present-day Lithuania. I've created Discussion forums based on geographies, as this is the only part of GW where you can reply to each other! Here's a quick jump to all the discussion forums, otherwise, scroll through all the resources until you get to them.
My husband's family has been in Lithuania from some time in the mid 1800's. His great grandfather Ernestes was born in Bavaria in 1820?, and moved to Lithuania. Does anyone know if there was an immigration program then, and if so, would there be any records? His son Eduards was born in Lithuania and had a farm at Akmene. He married Aneta Lina Labeja, and they had 6 children. Three sons came to Australia in 1949. There is still family in Akmene, but they have no records or documents. I hope someone can give me an idea where to look for information. Thank you, Suzanne
