What is this?

This page contains a transcription of the alphabetical index of gminas and places from the list of inhabited places of Suwalki governorate (gubernija), published in 1888 by the Russian Empire. The original document is available in digital format (as scanned images) on epaveldas.lt, Lithuanian heritage preservation site.

The names of gminas and inhabited places have been converted (from Russian) to phonetic equivalents in Lithuanian. A number of automatically-generated alternative spellings is presented as well. You can search within the page by using standard "Find in page" function of your browser, usually invoked by pressing Ctrl-F. In some cases the original, which may be reached by clicking on the page link, may contain additional Lithuanian or Polish spellings.

If the name of the gmina next to the place has red background, it means that the index did not explicitly specify the gmina for this location, and it was determined approximately based on the page ranges specified in gmina list. To confirm that it is actually correct, please consult the original page.

Modern names of gmina centers are not necessarily period-accurate, as they have changed quite a bit over the years. Nevertheless, the specified gmina centers should be close enough to the original ones to allow for unambiguous identification of the historical places on modern maps.
