This project seeks to include descendants from all those Jewish families who once lived in Vilkaviskis. The town is now in Lithuania, but in the interwar years was in Poland. If your family's roots are here, please add their profiles.
There is an excellent article by Joseph Rosin on the history of the town on the JewishGen KehilaLink here: http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/vilkovishk/vilkovishk1.html.
In addition, note the wonderful resource of Jewish Vilkaviskis, a website created by Ralph Salinger - http://www.jewishvilkaviskis.org/In_and_around_Vilkaviskis_.html. Mr. Salinger also has an active page on Facebook, Jewish Vilkaviskis.
For those with Rauzuk ancestry from Vilkaviskis, there is a also a Rauzuk/Rousuck Ancestry from Vilkaviskis Group on Facebook. Go to: https://www.facebook.com/groups/146164999317598 and ask to join the site.
