Lithuanian District Map

A map of the districts between Kovno (Kaunus) and Vilno (Vilnius) where the Dunn's, Epsteins and Romanofsky's amongst others hailed from.

A railway line from Kovno-Vilna was laid down during the second half of the 19th century which rapidly sped up migration and settlement patterns, leading to increased commerce, wealth and prosperity for some Landsmen.







More information can be gleaned by reading an article about Koshedar (Kaisiadorys) which can found at http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Koshedar/koshedar1.html
