Here is some exciting news about a new Krakow project.
An order has been placed to photocopy indices of Krakow records not previously microfilmed by the Mormons. The indices for the following types/years are being copied:
Births: 1855-1867 and 1890-1899 Marriages: 1852-1876 and 1889-1899 Deaths: 1855
Because the Krakow records are in Polish/German, the data entry will be done by volunteers - not the JRI-Poland data entry team in Warsaw that normally does the work on the Cyrillic records.
Now volunteers are needed! Help us with data entry so that these indices can be posted to the Jewish Records Indexing - Poland on-line database. If you have never worked on a project such as this, now is the time to try. Novices are definitely welcome as volunteers and I can assure you that you will get all the help you need.
This is the first phase of the project. The second phase will be the data entry by the Archivist in Krakow - for those years that do not have index pages.
To volunteer to do data entry or if you have any questions, please contact:
