The Jewish Records Indexing-Poland database has been updated to include
an additional 9952 indices >from the city of Warszawa. The Warszawa Shtetl CO-OP project creates extended indices, which also include when noted in the record: date of the event, age, gender, father's name and age, mother's name and age, mother's maiden name. Warszawa was separated into various districts or Cyrkuli. The dividing lines of these districts varied over time. Each inner city district maintained their own vital record registration; however there were periods of time in which several districts combined their vital registration together. The new data includes registers for the years 1832, 1846-48, 1864-1866 >from multiple districts. Maps of the district borders can be found at http://www.jri-poland.org/warsaw/districts.htm If you know the address where your family lived but not the district, then it is recommended to use as a reference the Warszawa Homeowner's list which was compiled by the Warszawa Research Group. http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Poland/WarszawaHomeowners.htm Many thanks to those who helped with the indexing and data entry, Michael Chen, Rose Feldman, Miriam Segali (z"l) and the Douglas E. Goldman Jewish Genealogy Center. Hadassah Lipsius Warszawa Shtetl CO-OP Coordinator JRI-Poland
