Litvak Portal:
I have set up a gateway to anything Litvak on Facebook. A website will also be added.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Litvak-Portal/1014205898589973
This Facebook page and its associated website will be dedicated information gateways (portals) to aspects of Jewish life, past and present, in Lithuania and those parts of Belarus, Latvia and Poland regarded as Litvak.
Categories to be included:
- General History and Facts
- Jewish Cultural History
- Holocaust

- JewishGen KehilaLinks
- Geography
- Education
- Touring & Travel
- Photography
- Museums & Cultural Centres

Brilliant idea! Well done and thanks!
A Litvak Portal is a great initiative . I am going on a private ancestral tour the first two weeks in September covering Bialystock, Vishtinetz. Vilkaviskis, Serijai, Augustow, Suchowola, Sopotskin, Holynka. and what was known as Brestivitsa.
The places Vabalninkai ,Dusiatos,Yuzintos,Dukishkis,Kamajai are missing in the list.of Lithuania and the place that now belongs to Belarus and always called Disna is not on the list
