I am also pleased to announce that a new batch of indices - to
records not filmed by the LDS, and which are part of the Jewish
Records Indexing - Poland "PSA Project" - are now online.

As researchers of Polish Jewish ancestry are aware, Jewish
Records Indexing - Poland creates indices of Jewish vital records

from two prime sources. They are:

* LDS (Mormon) microfilms of Jewish records, generally ending
in the 1860s to 1870s. These are indexed under JRI-Poland's
Shtetl CO-OP project.

* Index pages purchased >from the Polish State Archives or
indices created by archival staff (prior to November 2006).
These are for Jewish records that were not filmed by the LDS.
These are indexed under the JRI-Poland PSA project.

New and/or updated files with approximately 73,580 index
entries have been added to the JRI-Poland database. The "new"
data was previously indexed under the PSA project and is now
*finally* funded and eligible to go on the database. (For a few
towns, many years of additional data is now online.)

The new and/or updated data is >from the following towns:

Brzesko
Czyzewo
Frampol
Gostynin (Books of Residents)
Grabowiec
Hrubieszow
Jarczow
Jozefow Bilgorajski
Krasnobrod
Krasnystaw
Lancut (1910 Census)
Laszczow

Sokolow Malopolski
Szczebrzeszyn
Tarnobrzeg
Tomaszow Lubelski

Uchanie
Warszawa
Wysokie (in the Zamosc area)

Except where noted, the new/updated data signifies indices to
birth, marriage and death records.

(The records for a number of these towns are located in the
Zamosc branch of the Polish State Archives and a separate
announcement is being made concerning these records by
Zamosc Archive Coordinator, Shelley Pollero.)

Note: The Online Status column in the Your Town pages has not
yet been updated and so the new data is not yet reflected.

JRI-Poland now has indices to more than 4.1 million Polish
Jewish records in its searchable database.

Before you start searching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We know you will be eager to start searching the new data. But,
before doing so, please remember...

You can search by surname and town or surname and
geographical area. For hints on maximizing your search results
by using geographic coordinates, please refer to:
http://www.jri-poland.org/hints_strategies.htm

Do **not** search by Town name only as this will not generate
results!

Special thanks
