There | There may be many types of indexed records that cover parts, even large parts of Lithuania. Searching those indexes by name only can turn up several entries of the same name. '''Never jump to an immediate conclusion that you have found an entry that matches your ancestor'''. Study the information for other clues that verify the match. | ||

*Make sure the person you found in Lithuanian records '''left Lithuania'''. Look for them in marriage and death records of the same vicinity. See whether they have children a generation later in the vicinity. These things prove they remained in Lithuania and would rule them out as your ancestor. | *Make sure the person you found in Lithuanian records '''left Lithuania'''.
