The first thing that you have to do is to search the
JewishGen Romanian database at
http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Romania/ The
database contains all of the vital records for your
family that have been transliterated and placed on
line. Some records still have to be transliterated.
Copies of the vital records that are in the Kishinev
archives are also available at the Family History
Library and can be ordered for you at the nearest FHL
branch in Philadelphia. The records are in Russian
and in Hebrew.

For a list of other records held by the Kishinev
archives you can search Meriam Weiner's database at
http://www.rtrfoundation.org/

Please contact me privately for the name of a
researcher in Kishinev.

Moderator Note: In addition to the databases mentioned above, if you have not
already done so, you might want to look at http://www.jewishgen.org/RomSIG/ the
Romanian Special Interest Group (SIG) - while you are at the site, you might
consider subscribing to the RomSIG mailing list.

Dear Lisa,

This question should be addressed to the ROM-SIG of JewishGen, which also covers
Moldova. In addition, there are over 100,000 of records >from Kishinev (now
Chisinau!) to be found on the All-Romanian database;
http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Romania/

The ROM-SIG is also hoping to bring over a specialist >from Kishinev to the
Conference in Chicago, in August.
