Mission

To document and share the history and culture of the Germans from southwestern Lithuania by providing genealogical and historical resources to the public.

Our Purpose

The International Association of Germans from Lithuania (hereinafter referred to as ‘IAGL’) is a not-for-profit corporation located in the United States and was established first and foremost as a genealogical resource, providing the public with historic records and information regarding the former German population in southwestern Lithuania (known as the Deutsche aus Litauen) and elsewhere in the former Russian Empire’s Suwałki Gubernia. In addition to providing resources for genealogical research in relation to this ethnic minority, the IAGL was also established to document the culture and history of these peoples, and allow members and the public the ability to learn more about the Deutsche aus Litauen, and connect with the greater community.
