Jewish Records Indexing - Poland is proud to announce the addition of
nearly 7,000 Tarnopol birth indices for 1882-1892. There are now over
12,500 Tarnopol Birth indices covering years 1866-1892 on the JRI-Poland
database. These indices are the result of JRI-Poland's agreement with the
Polish State Archives to index all the 19th Century vital records for 82
towns in the former Eastern Galicia area (currently located in Ukraine)
that are held by the AGAD Archives in Warsaw.

To search the database, go to
<http://www.jewishgen.org/JRI-PL/jriplweb.htm>; and enter your surname
of interest. To narrow your search to the towns in East Galicia (current
Ukraine), enter Province = "Ukraine." To narrow your search to only
Tarnopol, enter Town = "Tarnopol."

In my announcement of October 24, I provided detailed instructions to
search the database and order records of interest >from the AGAD Archives.
You can find these instructions by using the JewishGen Discussion Group
Archives, which can be accessed >from the JewishGen home page. Search
for "Tarnopol" and you will find my October 24 posting.

I wish all Tarnopol area researchers great success in their search of the
database. If you do find success, I would appreciate if you would post
your experiences on this forum.

To find out how you can help accelerate the addition of further indices to
the Tarnopol database, please see our webpage at
<http://www.jewishgen.org/JRI-PL/agad/agad_tarnopol.htm>; or contact me at
<willie46@aol.com>. The webpage also lists the other 12 towns whose vital
records registers are part of the Tarnopol Area project.

To follow the progress of this project in more detail, please subscribe
to the JRI-Poland List. This can easily be done at

I am proud to announce the addition of over 1,500 Kozova birth indices for
1877-1893 to the database. These records represent the complete Kozova
holdings of the AGAD Archives.

If you have ancestors in the Tarnopol/Brzezany area, you may also want to
search the Kozova indices. I found an ancestor and his wife, who I knew had
five children in Tarnopol, had actually given birth to their first child in
Kozova.

With this addition, there are now over 14,000 AGAD Tarnopol Area Birth
indices on the JRI-Poland database. These indices are the result of
JRI-Poland's agreement with the Polish State Archives to index all the 19th
Century vital records for 82 towns in the former Eastern Galicia area
(currently located in Ukraine) that are held by the AGAD Archives in Warsaw.

When you search the database, you can narrow your search to the towns in East
Galicia (current Ukraine) by entering Province = "Ukraine." To narrow your
search to only Kozova, enter Town = "Kozova."

For those who have never ordered records >from the Polish State Archives
through a JRI-Poland database search, instructions are available in my
announcement of October 24. I provided detailed instructions to search the
database and order records of interest >from the AGAD Archives. You can find

these Kozova indices available to all of us.

Please forgive my ignorance. How large an area would Tarnopol records cover?
I believe my great grandparents, Joseph and Bella Erlichman Brenner, came

from Zinkov (Kamenets Podolskiy vicinity). My great grandmother's sisters,

Mirka Erlichman Weisman and Ida Erlichman Beckman, lived in Proskurov (same
area) and/or Zinkov. When I searched the surname list, I found Brener,
Brenner, Beckmann, Ehrlich, Weismann, Weissmann, ... I find it hard to
believe that all the family names would coincidentally be in Tarnopol. I
know people did move around, and that Ternopol and Kamenets Podolskiy are
only about 50 miles apart.

About a year and a half ago, I received e-mail >from a gal in Israel named
Ehrlich (whose family name was originally Ehrlichman). She knew her family
came >from Ternopol. At that time, I didn't know our family came >from
Kamenets Podolskiy.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: research questions

Dear Robin, your friend may look for Polish Catholic records in local
Lithuanian Archives, the same archives Jewish records would be held, but he
may also inquire at the Polish State Archives in Warsaw whether any records
were transferred back to Poland after the war, and check the local parish
in Lithuania, which may have the books. I would strongly recommend
contacting the Polish Genealogical Society and perhaps joining for at least
a year (for $20 I think). They will send your friend a very comprehensive
beginner's kit, where he will find answers to most of his questions. Their
web address is www.pgsa.com.

I have now hired four different researchers in Poland and
Ukraine. I have had mixed results--most very good, and one
very bad. But I have learned one thing: In my particular
cases, the most reputable researchers stated a fee (often as
a per-hour rate; plus expenses) and collected all or most of
the fee after the research was complete--rather than stating a
single large fee and collecting it up front, before any research
has begun. Please note that there are many researchers around
the world. My remarks refer only to my specific experiences.
I am not attempting to make generalizations, state an unbending
rule, or recommend proper behavior for researchers to follow.
