Family Surnames Found Until Now in Dieveniskes: https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/dieveniskes/SurnameReport.html

Of particular focus in this project will be for descendants of the town to post their photos (including any written information appurtenant to the photos) so that others may assist in identifying unknown persons in the photos. Please see upload your photos to the 'Documents and Photos' page and don't forget to 'tag' any persons you know in the photos, or that you recognize in other peoples's photos. Scroll over photos to see prior identifications.

When adding photos, please include any known facts such as the year, the event, etc., in the 'Description' box that appears after the photo has been uploaded.

Please add your families to this project so we can work together to find connections. Add the profiles for one person in each family that you have documented. That way we can try to find connections between trees and in cases where the existing vital records and revision lists have gaps. Collaborator Adam Cherson has an extensive database of Divenishok families: please post inquiries to the database as new discussions.
