Ronald D. Doctor <rondoctor@...>
I'm pleased to announce that the Kremenets District Research Group
(KDRG) has translated the following vital records >from Pochayev and Rokhmanov and Radzivilov Yizkor Book pages. We have completed translations of the following records: Pochayev Births, 1882-1883, 1885-1892, 1894 Rokhmanov Births, 1878-1883. 1885-1891, 1904, 1908-1912 Rokhmanov Marriages, 1882-1896, 1898, 1900-1907, 1910, 1913, 1915 Rokhmanov Divorces, 1878-1914 (Note: There were no divorces recorded during this period.) Rokhmanov Deaths, 1878-1883. 1885-1891, 1904, 1908-1912 Radzivilov Yizkor Book, 156 pages; completed the Yiddish section The Pochayev birth records are indexed in the updated KDRG Concordance (master name and place index). The Rokhmanov records soon will be included. All the new records are in our master birth, marriage and death and divorce spreadsheets on our KDRG Contributors website on Google (see below). Ellen Garshick coordinated the Radzivilov Yizkor Book Translation Project. Marilyn Urwitz and her devoted family have contributed thousands of dollars for paying a half dozen translators over the past 5 years. Translating this Yizkor Book has been a massive and complicated project. To date we have translated 381 pages (109 chapters), including the entire Yiddish section and all but 62 pages (12 chapters) of the Hebrew section. The remaining pages are in progress. To see the translated text, go to http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Radzivilov/Radzivilov.html Many thanks to Ellen, Marilyn and her family, and JewishGen's Lance Ackerfeld for seeing this project through.

It is the first item at: < http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/Kremenets/web-pages/research-projects.html > [or http://tinyurl.com/gkvn9yf - MODERATOR] How to obtain the translations === Researchers who contributed to our work within the past 2 years have exclusive access to our KDRG Contributors website on Google. https://sites.google.com/site/kdrgcontributors/home [MODERATOR: Requires permission >from "the owner" - the "Request Access" link appears on the above site.] This website contains pre-release (and downloadable) copies of *all* of our record translations and documents, even those that have not yet been edited. These translations will not be publicly available until they are proofread and edited, so it may be a year or more before you can access them ... unless you contribute to our work. Early access to these translations is a major benefit for our donors. All researchers should start with the Concordance. It is freely available, searchable and downloadable, on our JewishGen Kremenets Kehilalinks website: http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/Kremenets/web-pages/master-surnames.html [or http://tinyurl.com/7qurvfm - MODERATOR] Although the full translation spreadsheets will not be available to the general public until they are proofread and edited, we will send up to 10 translated records at no charge to any researcher who identifies entries of interest in our Concordance. Please contact me (rddpdx@...) if you need information about how to obtain these records or how to access the KDRG Contributors website. How to Donate === In cooperation with the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People (Hebrew University, Jerusalem) we are continuing our search for and acquisition of additional records.
