Lithuanian records can be written in a variety of different languages. Genealogical sources in Lithuania reflect Russian political domination and are primarily in Russian. There are also some records in Latin, German, Polish, and Hebrew. Lithuanian language is used only in twentieth century records.<ref name="profile2">The Family History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Family History Record Profile: Lithuania,” Word document, private files of the FamilySearch Content Strategy Team, 2003.</ref> | |||
