Repeated Introduction Across All Pages of the Given Name Index
This index includes all of the original records on the Lyakhovichi website as of May 2008. It does not include other finding tools like the patronymic index, the immigration index, or the internal indices of the different census enumerations and revision lists. It also does not yet include the new collaborative databases added in May 2008, nor the Face Index - all of which will be included in the next update.

The Given Name Index is not a reworking of the Patronym tables nor of the Surname Index. It gives us access to many more people over a greater period of time, beginning with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Census of 1784 and continuing into documents created by the governments of the twentieth century nations of the United States, Soviet Union, and Israel.

Tens of thousands of individual recordings of people born in, or resident of, Lyakhovichi are reported in the Given Name Index. The webmaster has utilized some standard practices to make tracking people from one record to its predecessor, an easier process.

Names have been gathered together in groups by a standardized spelling, though the individual records have not been changed. So Abram, Abraham, Avrom, Avrum,. Avram, Awrum, Avraham, and every other possible variant, have been brought together. They then were alphabetized by surname when one existed and then ordered by date within those surnames.

We have introduced co-names (such as Judah and Leib), linked names (like Yehiel and Michael), and translated names (such as Zvi, Hirsch, and Girsh), on other pages of our website (See the Surname Index). In this index we have only brought together the translations, not the co-names or the links. So you will see Asher and Osher all indexed together as spelling variants, but Zelig, a linked name to Asher, is indexed separately. The Hirsch of Yiddish, the Hyrsz of Polish, and the Girsh of Russian, are all indexed together, but Naftali, a co-name to all of them is posted separately. Let the webmaster know if you think this is a good solution or whether you would find it helpful to have the names in both places or think they should be brought together or you have another solution that has not yet been considered.

All of the names included on this page are listed at the beginning of the Tables on this page.
