Dear Baruch,
Thank you for the email December 6. I did some additional research on
Chaits from Birzai on the base of the information you sent me up till
this time.
1. In the birth records of Pasvalys we have (1882-1889,1893- 1914) I
found the birth records of childrens of Yudel ben Abram Chait and Asna
bat Zusman Kriger : Ovsey (23.06.1895), Sholom (18.04.1897),
Enta-Rocha (19.07.1899), Itzik (20.10.1901.) and Chana
(31.07.1903).Traying to find their marriage record I examined marriage
records of Birzai (1881- 1895), Pasvalys (1882-1895) and of some other
nearest towns- Zeimelis (1882-1895), Linkuva (1881-1895), Joniskelis
(1887-1895), Vabalninkas (1882-1895), Pusalotas(1883-86,88- 1895). But
I do not find this marriage record. Records of Vashki do not exist.
Besides, I looked through the birth records of Linkuva
(1884-1888,1897,98,1900-1903), Joniskelis (1887,1888,1893-1912),
Birzai (1876-78,1881-1887 and later years), Pumpenai (1900- 1909). But
I do not fiind any more of their childrens.
2. As far as Meyer Chait and Asna family; By your data Meyer was born
abt. 1866 in Birzai. I examined the birth records of Birzai of
1865-1869.- His birth record did not exist in these books. I examined
the marriage records of Birzai of
1881-1895 as well as of some other nearest communities
(Pasvalys,Linkuva,Vabalninkas,Joniskelis,Pusalotas,Zeimelis.)
But I do not find their marriage record. By your data, Asna the wife
of Meyer Chait died in Birzai in 1926. I looked through the death
records of Birzai of 1925-1939, but her death record is not among
these records. As I wrote you before,in the birth records of Birzai of
1881-1887,1893-1914 I found the birth records of Girsh (1882),
Gode-Ite (1887) and Shmuel (March 1,1893).Their parents were Meyer ben
Shmuel (not Abram) Chait and Asne. I do not find the birth record of
Sam Chait (b.1893.04.06 in Birzai, by your data) in
Birzai 1893 records book. So, probably,your information about this
family is not very correct.
3.On the base of information you sent me by last email I
found in Birzai records:
1.the marriage record of Meyer-Pinches ben Movsha-Leyb
Chait and Beile bat Berel (in 1882). Her maiden name is not indicated.
2.the birth records of their childrens- David-Michel (1894),
Reize-Braine (1896),Avadye (1900), Mere-Mindel(1903),Yente-
Freide (1905) and Leyzer-Abel (1908). It is strange that I do not find
any of their children in the birth records of Birzai of
1883-1887,1893.
4.As far as Itzik Chait family; I find the marriage record of Mendel
ben Itzik-David Chait 25 years and Civya bat Zusman Kriger 24 years in
Pasvalys records(1898 -I do not find the birth record of Mendel (1873)
in Birzai and Pasvalys records of 1873,1874 years.I do not find the
birth record of his brother Moris (1880) in Birzai records 1880,1881
years. Records of Pasvalys of 1875-1881 not
preserved.
Lastly. In the death records of Birzai I examined up till this
time (1881-1898,1902,1913-1914,1925-1939) I found some
records about Chaits. Maybe some of them is important for
you: died in 1882 Itzik ben Calel Chait 59 years,1884 Ber ben Abram
Chait 48,1887 Shmuel ben Zelik Chait 76 years, 1889 died
Meyer ben Lipko Chait 63,1894 died Gershon ben Abram Chait 60
years,1896 Mordtkel Ber ben Shmuel Chait 60,
1896 died Mones ben Itzik Chait 52,1898 died Chaia bat
Leyzer, the wife of Itzik Chait 73 years. in 1938 died Abram
Chait a widower, born in 1856, son of Elya-David and Roche- Leya
Zvidgal.
There are a lot of Chaits in all Birzai records. Of course, the
answers to many questions would give for us census records of Birzai
of 1850 and 1858 years. But,unfortunately,
these census records do not preserved. Without these documents it is
impossible to do more correct research.
If you are interested in copies with translations of some mentioned
before records I found, please inform me.
Sincerely yours,
Alfonsas

Am copying the breakthrough information below on my paternal grandmother's sister Gesa Vais Lever. Never expected to find her or her daughters Ita and Malka but there she was: died in 1939 at the age of 74. If I remember, you had a Vais connection through your Moerer family so I am claiming you like so many others!! I am thankful she died before the height of the Holocaust. Her son visited here from So Africa about 1971 and mentioned he had returned after WW11 but no trace so we assumed she and others had died in the Holocaust. This will motivate me to keep looking. If more data from the area becomes available, let me know personally or through Litvaksig and I will send in a donation. Rena
Thanks, Eilat, for helping me with a rare breakthrough. R.

Subject:Gesa Lever's death in 1939 at age 74
Lenard,
I received Pasvalys 1922-1939 death records where some of the Joniskelis/Vashki records apparently were recorded. I was amazed to find your grandmo as Gesa Lever, fa Shlomo, mo Malka, died in 1939 at the age of 74, of diabetic peritonitis. The names, age, all match. Gesa was the younger sister of my grandmother Ruchel Leah Vais/Wise Weiner and of Uncle Edel Vais/Wise; I believe I sent you marriage record of 1900 indicating she was 23 and your grandfa Sender (?) Lever of Linkova was 25.
Am copying to my cousin Eleanor Shein Korros and also Uncle Edel's grandson Edward Wise. What a blessing that she did not die in the Holocaust!! While I can not be sure, since her marriage and death were recorded in Pasvalys records, I assume she continued to live in Vashki. So will continue to watch for her daughters and your father's nieces Ita and Malka. I may have seen Ita in Vashki cemetery record a while back but can not seem to retrieve them now. If Malka survived, she may have been married and this would complicate the search.
Hope everyone is well. My best to all, Rena

-------------------------------------------------
the Lever family was from
Linkova including Gisa's husband. Also when Gisa's son Sam Lever, his wife
Becky, and son Alex and wife visited the U.S about 1971 they visited not
only our Weiner family in Ky, Tn., Miss. and Ga. but also I remember their
mentioning family in Pa, La, Md. etc.
I do have a hard copy of a Lever family tree from Gisa's grandson Alex
Lever indicating names and where family lived/ had immigrated. Gisa"s son
Sam had immigrated to South Africa in the 1920's where there were other
Lever family. I corresponded with Alex Lever, now deceased, and am still in
touch with his brother Lenard Gershon Lever now of Australia. Another
brother Henry Lever still lives in Africa. I notice one of the Levers was
married to a Levitan. Thanks for sharing the Lever information and for your
help. Rena
