Sephardic SIG #Sephardim post-Ottoman business directories with wide coverage now searchable #sephardic
Logan J. Kleinwaks
Seven business directories >from 1924-1948 that largely continue an
Ottoman-era series, Annuaire Oriental, are now searchable at http://genealogyindexer.org . Geographic coverage varies by year and may include any of the following: Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Romania, Syria, Turkey, Yugoslavia, and, to a much lesser extent, other European countries and the U.S. These directories, as well as thirteen Ottoman directories added earlier, and 1800+ other sources will be searched simultaneously with the default search options. To see results >from these directories and other recent additions first, change the "Regular Sort" option below the search box to "New Matches First." Search results link directly to scans of the corresponding pages on the website of SALT Research, Istanbul. To browse the directories, instead of searching, visit the links listed under "Multinational," near the beginning of http://genealogyindexer.org/directories . That list of links also shows the geographic coverage of each directory. Thanks to Rose Feldman for alerting me to the existence of these directories on the SALT Research website.
