=== Metrikai: Online Catholic Church Records === | |||
'''[https://www.metrikai.lt/index.php Metrikai]''' is a Lithuanian site that indexes metrical records from throughout Lithuania. It's a newer website and is constantly being updated with new indexes and information, so check back often. The website is only available in Lithuanian; however, for non-Lithuanian speakers, you can use Google Translate to help you navigate the site. | |||
'''Website Translation''' | |||
*If you use the Google Chrome browser, simply right click anywhere on the page and select the option ''Translate to English.'' | |||
*If you prefer to use another browser, just go to https://translate.google.com/, and change the language settings to translate from English to Russian. Copy and paste the URL of the website you want translated into the English box and click on the link that appears in the Russian box. This will take you to a translated version of the site. | |||
*In the upper right hand corner, above Powered by Google Translate, click on Select Language and find your language of choice. | |||
For help using the site, follow the instructions below. | |||
#Go to https://www.metrikai.lt/index.php | |||
#If needed, translate the website into English (or your preferred language) using the information above. | |||
# Check to see if records for your parish location have been indexed by looking at the list of parishes on the left hand side (the black column with locations followed by RKB (Roman Catholic), and a number). The number following each parish name represents the number of records indexed from that location. If you do not see your parish in the list, check back in the future. If you do not know the name of the parish, you can search using just a surname in the search box on the main page. | |||
# If your parish does appear in the list, click on it. | |||
#In the search box that appears at the top of the page, type in the surname in the '''Keyword''' (''Raktinis žodis'') box. If desired, you can add additional search terms or filter by record type. | |||
#Press enter or click '''Search''' (''leškoti).'' | |||
#Search results will appear in a columnar format. Keep in mind that Google Translate may not correctly translate all information. See the table below to help you navigate some of the common information that may appear in the columns. | |||
