JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen Galicia and Bukovina business directory, 1907-1913 #general
Logan J. Kleinwaks
I am pleased to announce that a Galicia and Bukovina business directory dated
1907-1913 is now searchable and viewable at http://genealogyindexer.org. This is volume 19b of the 10th edition of Leuchs' "Adressbuch aller Laender der Erde der Kaufleute, Fabrikanten, Gewerbtreibenden, Gutsbesitzer, ..." The directory is included in all searches by default. You can restrict searches to it, excluding other directories, by appending {d667} to your search term (e.g., Lichtbach {d667}) The directory is organized mostly by town. To find a town's section (rather than searching by surname), you can use the town index beginning at http://genealogyindexer.org/view/190713Leuchs19b/681. The numbers next to the town names are the printed page numbers, to which you should add 20 to get approximately the corresponding image number in the online presentation. You can jump to image number X with the URL http://genealogyindexer.org/view/190713Leuchs19b/X. If you do not see your town, go forward or backward using the numerical "Image" links in the top middle of the page. Alternatively, you can often find a town's section by using the town's name as your search term (with {d667}). Please note that the date 1907-1913 printed on the title page might refer to the range of publication dates across all volumes of this edition, and not the time period in which information was collected for this particular volume. If you know more precisely the date of publication or compilation of this volume, please contact me. It is not apparent to me >from the directory itself, unlike some other editions. Possibly, this is clarified in the first volume, which is not online. This directory is available only because an anonymous donor paid for its digitization by the Moravian Library in Brno through the eBooks on Demand program (http://books2ebooks.eu), and then provided me with the images. While the donor does not wish to be publicly acknowledged, I am sure that many of us will be grateful for this generous gift. Logan Kleinwaks kleinwaks@... near Washington, D.C.
