1857 census Vilna province
Does anyone know the location of the 1857 census of Vilna province?
The village is marked on the Schubert map (mid-19th century) under the name Pig [6] . In fact, in 1865, it consisted of three villages of the Sventsiansky district of the Vilna province .
My ancestors were born in Svinka, renamed Malinovaya on the estate of Späglitz Kersnovsky.

Hello Henry!
There are revision lists (taxation records that resemble a census) for this area, and
according to this source (https://censusmosaic.demog.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/downloads/publications/mosaicWP/MOSAIC-WP-2012-005.pdf), they are located in the Lithuanian State Historical Archive, Fond 515, opis 15.
There are also some state estate household records. They can be found in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives, F. 525, Op. 4/6, and delo 1855.
The Lithuanian State Historical Archives website and their contact information can be found here: https://www.archyvai.lt/en/archives/historicalarchives.html
Some earlier revision lists are available through FamilySearch (see the taxation category): https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&placeId=142751&query=%2Bplace%3A%22Lithuania%2C%20Vilnius%22&subjectsOpen=1417670-50
