Just to clarify the situation regarding transcription of Romanian Jewish records,
my undesrtanding is as follows (please chime in if you are organizing a transcription project not covered below, so others don't duplicate your efforts!): 1. Maramures Jewish Records Transcription Project (organized by Brooke Ganz). Her website (link below) will give you all information you need on the status of this project: http://www.maramarosjewishrecords.com/ 2. Oradea/Nagyvarad and vicinity transcription project (organized by Sam Schleman) His e-mail is samara99@verizon.net In addition to these two ongoing projects, there are a number of sets of Jewish records which are available for "adoption" for any person/group who would like to organize thie own transcription project. Sam and Brooke can give you advice on this , and Vivian Kahn can provide you with a document which lists the Jewish Gen guidelines for such projects. Records sets which I am in possession of are City of Szatmar/Satu Mare (10 volumes, the city only, and not other towns in Szatmar County) I am also currently having 15 volumes of Cluj County Jewish records photographed, though this is just about 1/3 of the total that are available. I hope this clarifies the situation; I an NOT personally organizing any transcription projects, but do have some sets of original Jewish records on DVD. Beth Long Budapest
