Lithuania - mid-1800;s (Lashski)

annie gamber

Hello,

I am new to researching in Poland. In the mid-1800 the City of Marijampole in Lithuania was under Polish Rule. I am trying to trace my ancestors who lived in the Starapole region in Marijampole around 1850 -1890. Where in Poland do they hold records for this region? I'm thinking I need to start looking for the records in the Suvalkai region.

My ggf was born about 1860 in this town and his brother was born about 1872. The father's surname was changed but his mother's surname was something like Lashski.

I need to ask are any of these records in English?

Thanks for all replies.
