Chaim Freedman posted yesterday today regarding the usefulness of some translated articles relaing to WWI history. I would like to point out the American Jewish Year Book does the same thing and is invaluable. Try this resource at www.ajcarchives.org . The AJYB is online in PDF format for the tears 1899 - 2005. An index volume exists for the years 1899 - 1949 however, I have searched it extensively and have found it is not complete if you are trying to locate a specific town. I have developed a method for searching this resource over entire historical periods (WWI, pre-WWII through the end of the war, etc). It has been a great resource and I highly recommend it.
