This alphabetical listing by town makes it easier to find the microfilm ordering numbers for the specific place, date, and event type you need.  The towns are listed here alphabetically by their Yiddish names.  The official Lithuanian name is listed first, followed by the Yiddish name in parenthesis.  The microfilms are available for borrowing at any local LDS Family History Center.
