Hello Fellow Galitzianers:

Thanks to the efforts of many volunteers and supporters, JRI-Poland
recently added record indices for seventeen towns in Galicia to
our online database at http://www.jri-poland.org/jriplweb.htm.
All of the following records are found at the AGAD Archive
in Warsaw, Fond 300.

that we can soon announce those record indices are also online.

War I were destroyed during the War. These civil marriage record indices in=
clude some recreated at the request of the people, their families, or the c=

1915-1932 deaths. The supplemental births are a register that
contains only delayed registrations that originally occurred

With the addition of these 25,000 record indices, there are now
over one million record indices included in the JRI-Poland
online database for towns in Eastern Galicia. This covers
over 100 towns now in Ukraine.

As many of you know, JRI-Poland has been linking our index
entries to the images of records that are placed online by
the AGAD Archive. AGAD has placed images online for all record
registers with Signature/Sygnatura through 4101. These image
will cover birth records up through 1917 and marriage/death
records up through 1937. The AGAD Inventory by Sygnatura can
be found at
http://www.agad.gov.pl/inwentarze/Mojz300x.xml

For Sygnatura with images that have been indexed by JRI-Poland,
the search results table will show a link in the far left column.
If the link reads "View Image," the link will take you directly
to the page containing that record. Linking directly to the
record requires volunteers who input the image-link to the
file containing the index entries. This team of volunteers is
led by Howard Fink. We thank them for their efforts.

If the link reads "View Nearby Image," the direct linking
input has not yet been completed. However, JRI-Poland
Database Manager Michael Tobias has developed a mechanism
to estimate the page where the record can be found. In
most cases, the link to the record will require the
researcher to move forward or backwards up to four
pages to find the right record number (AKTA). We
thank Michael for his efforts.

I also want to thank Hadassah Lipsius, Jan Gronski,
Max Wald, Stanley Diamond, and the indexing team in
Warsaw for their work and support.

Our indexing has now entered into the years of World War I
and we are seeing the impacts of the War on the vital record
registrations in some towns.

If you have any questions about these towns or the status
of indexing for any towns formerly in Galicia and now in
Ukraine, please contact me at mark@halpern.com.

Please remember, Galicia researchers should also be
searching Gesher Galicia's All Galicia Database
http://search.geshergalicia.org/. These two
databases have very little overlap.

Please join us at the Cleveland Conference starting
July 28. JRI-Poland will be a major presence at
the Conference. Our expert volunteers will be available
to help guide your research. Monday July 29 is the day
when JRI-Poland's Executive Director will tell us about
JRI-Poland's vision for the future, as well as what's new,
I will make a presentation about these Galician vital
records, and the JRI-Poland luncheon will take place.
I hope to see you in Cleveland. If you cannot make it
to Cleveland, we can meet in cyberspace.
