  • Example of information in newspaper articles:

The database shows Abram Gurvits listed twice once as Abram Gurvitz - 48 and then Abram Gurvitz  - 57. That he is listed twice means there are two articles that contain his name. The numbers 48 and 57 are for my reference.

Here is information extracted from those two articles:

Abram son of Jossel Gurvitz was owner of the house in Kaunas in 4th quarter of the town on Moskovskaya street. He is mentioned in the list of electors in the State Douma (Russian Parliament) in 1907, published in the supplement to newspaper "Kovenskiye gubernskije vedomosti" # 50, 1907.

  • Another example: 

Meilachovitch Berka- 35 -  In 1859 on the page 198 of the newspaper "Kovenskije gubernskije vedomosti" published the Kovno District Court call the heirs of a Jew Berka son of Leib  Meilachovitch to take possession of their inheritance.

In addition to the translation of the article I will send you a copy of the original entry.
 

  • Another example:

Kor Zelman-12 - The draft commission of Telz District was searching for the conscript Zelman, son of Schmerel Kor, petit-bourgeois of Popelyani (Papile) in Sauliai district, born in 1857. This information was published in the newspaper "Kovenskije gubernskije vedomosti", # 9, year 1878. )
