Poll Tax List

The 1784 Lyakovichi Poll Tax list translation ©2008 Jewish Family History Foundation is published with the permission of the Jewish Family History Foundation. Contact them at GDLProject@aol.com for information about other Belarus (and Lithuanian) town poll tax lists, or see their website: www.jewishfamilyhistory.org for other town lists in progress, articles on using the GDL records, or for assistance in organizing a GDL Project for your town.

The 1784 GDL Census
The records were contributed by the Lyakhovichi Research Group

There are four kinds of records on these pages about the 1784 Grand Duchy of Lithuania Poll Tax.
The 1784 Grand Duchy of Lithuania Census of LyakhovichiYou are Here! This is where you will find the list of extracted names organized by the family household order in which they appeared.
On this same page, you will find a Given Name Index to every person counted in the 1784 Census for Lyakhovichi and its surrounding dependent towns.

Extracts, Tables, and Analyses from the 1784 GDL Census This page holds a Comparison Table, comparing those who appeared in the 1784 GDL Census with those who appeared in Russian documents subsequently. It is the result of research and comparison by Deborah Glassman, and it designed to be suggestive rather than authoritative. It points out likely correspondences but these are not confirmed in the 1784 documents themselves.
On this same page, you will find a brief introduction to some aspects of the 1784 GDL Census, which we hope to expand in a future update.

Images from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Census of 1784 These are the actual pages of the documentation from which these lists were drawn. We hope to help the larger research community gain a deeper understanding of the material and to encourage others to enter into partnership with Jewish Family History Foundation that provided access to these materials.

The 1784 GDL Census of
Lyakhovichi and small Surrounding Towns
Ordered by Appearance in Original Document

The listing in the table below, was extracted from a document created by the Family History Organization. All of the translations of names, towns, and comments in the document, are by the efforts of that organization, and the translations are copyright to them and used here with their permission. Please use the links above to learn more about the important work of this organization and how you can participate in expanding our knowledge of Jews in this time period over a much wider geography, by partnering with them in community-specific translations.

Changes to the extracted information in the table below and in the accompanying indices, such as notations about additional names by which the town may be known, are the responsibility of the webmaster, and are notated as such in the document below. Images of the original pages are provided GDL 1784 Images to be the ultimate arbiter in a contest of interpretation.

In the table below, town names that fall across two lines are the name as it appears in the document and the translator's suggestion for a modern town that may be the same. Question marks following the entry are those of the translator. When the second name appears in italics, it is a comment of the webmaster, usually specified in the first instance and then just italicized subsequently. All tables on this page are ©Deborah Glassman 2008 and may not be reproduced in whole or part without her written permission.
