A huge amount has been achieved in recent years with help from many researchers in the the district. We have thousands of revision list and other records that allow some of us to trace our families to the 18th century. Rokiskis has created a first class shtetl website.
These achievements allow us to consider projects that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. But for some shtetls basic translation work still needs to be done, and for a few there are very limited or no records available. Whatever the position for each shtetl and for each researcher there are worthwhile projects that should allow us to build a better understanding of our families' history.
For me there are three main questions that motivate my research:
- where did we come from?
- where did we go?
- who are we today?
I look forward to your comments.
