The cemeteries where your forefathers were buried.
The market square or shops your forefathers bought or sold goods at.

A restaurant where you could taste meals popular among people like your forefathers at the time they emigrated.
• If your forefathers belonged to some ethnic or religious minority, a museum of the particular minority may also be visited.

Note: the tour may only visit towns that you know about. However, even if you don’t know particular locations within these towns, our specialists will do the best to guess them, or show you the likely alternatives (e.g. if there is just a single house of worship of your family faith in the town, it was almost certainly the house of worship your forefathers visited).

Additionally, if you want to learn more about your Lithuanian forefathers before visiting Lithuania, we may conduct an archive search or research your genealogy and then base the tour on the newly-discovered data.

While Lithuanians are known to protect their heritage, some historic buildings, unfortunately, have been lost to wars and occupations. Should some of the locations related to your forefathers be no longer available, we do our best to compensate that by visiting the former sites of such buildings, showing you the historic images, and visiting comparable locations in the neighboring towns.

Additional possibilities:
• You may visit the Lithuanian archives yourself with our guide and out specialists may continue the research after you leave.
• Our lawyers may help you restore Lithuanian citizenship based on the ancestry, or get a Lithuanian residence permit (if you’d become interested).

  • A wooden Lithuanian village church
