A second batch of JRI-Poland data now searchable online #poland
Earlier today, JRI-Poland Shtetl CO-OP Coordinator
Hadassah Lipsius announced the addition of entries to
the JRI-Poland database indexed >from the LDS (Mormon)
microfilms.
I am also pleased to announce that a new batch of
indices - to records not filmed by the LDS, and which
are part of the "PSA Project" - are now online.
As researchers of Polish Jewish ancestry are aware,
Jewish Records Indexing - Poland creates indices of
Jewish vital records >from two prime sources. They are:
* LDS (Mormon) microfilms of Jewish records,
generally ending in the 1860s to 1870s. These are
indexed under JRI-Poland's Shtetl CO-OP project.
* Index pages purchased >from the Polish State Archives
prior to November 2006. These are for Jewish records
that were not filmed by the LDS. These are indexed
under the JRI-Poland PSA project.
New and/or updated files with approximately 73,580 index
entries have been added to the JRI-Poland database
The "new" data was previously indexed under the PSA
project and is now *finally* funded and eligible to go
on the database. (For a few towns, many years of
additional data is now online.)
The new and/or updated data is >from the following towns:
Brzesko
Czyzewo
Frampol
Gostynin (Books of Residents)
Grabowiec
Hrubieszow
Jarczow
Jozefow Bilgorajski
Krasnobrod
Krasnystaw
Lancut (1910 Census)
Laszczow
Leczna
Nowy Sacz
Nowy Wisnicz
Nowy Zmigrod
Raciaz (Books of Residents)

Sokolow Malopolski
Szczebrzeszyn
Tarnobrzeg
Tomaszow Lubelski
Turobin
Uchanie
Warszawa
Wysokie (in the Zamosc area)
Zamosc
Zolkiewka
Except where noted, the new/updated data signifies indices to
birth, marriage and death records.
(The records for a number of these towns are located in
the Zamosc branch of the Polish State Archives and a
separate announcement is being made concerning these
records by Zamosc Archive Coordinator, Shelley Pollero.)
Note: The Online Status column in the Your Town pages
has not yet been updated and so the new data is not yet
reflected.
JRI-Poland now has indices to more than 4.1 million
Polish Jewish records in its searchable database.

Before you start searching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We know you will be eager to start searching the new
data. But, before doing so, please remember...
You can search by surname and town or surname and
geographical area. For hints on maximizing your search
results by using geographic coordinates, please refer
to: http://www.jri-poland.org/hints_strategies.htm
Do **not** search by Town name only as this will not
generate results!
Special thanks
