Reading the Latin-Language Birth, Marriage and Death Registers of Lithuanian Roman Catholic Churches (RCCs)


​The Latin language was used in the registers of Lithuanian RCCs at least through the early portion of the nineteenth century. It appears that RCCs in the Vilnius diocese used the Latin language through the first half of 1827, and that RCCs in the Telšiai diocese used the Latin language through the end of 1827.

In the Latin-language registers, all of the text is handwritten in the Latin language, and the names of ethnic Lithuanians are Polonized (converted into Polish-language versions of the names), and the names of Lithuanian towns and villages are identified by their Polish names.
