Hello. I just looked at all the new records that have been put on line for shtetls in Ukraine. However, I haven't been able to find any for Zhvanets, which is in Podolia. Are there *any* records for this town?

Thank you!

I just did a search in the universal search field with data type = any field and entered Zhvanets
BTW this is the best way to find all records from any town is to use this tactic

there are 1,220 listings for records listing Zhvanets a major entry from JOWBR for 968 burial records from the local cemetery

Thank you, Gary. I was just disappointed that, in looking at the KehilaLinks page for Ukraine there are no records at all for Zhvanets.

The official guide to metrical books in the Ukraine Archives published by the archives itself (volume 8 part 2, Khmielnitskiy Oblast Archives) shows the following surviving records for the Jewish community of Zhvanets, all part of fond 227 (with opis & sprava numbers in parentheses after dates):

Births - 1842 (op. 1, vol. 1, spr. 4075); 1845 (op. 6d, spr. 35); 1846 (op. 2d, spr. 323); 1847 (op. 2d, spr. 356); 1848 (op. 1, vol. 1, spr. 7539); 1849 (op. 1, vol. 1, spr. 8011); 1850 (op. 1, vol. 1, spr. 8832)

Marriages - same as above for births, except 1850 (op. 1, vol. 1, spr. 8833)

Divorces - same as above for births, except 1850 (op. 1, vol. 1, spr. 8834)

Deaths - same as above for 1842-1849; 1850 (op. 1, vol. 1, spr. 8835, & op. 1d, spr. 326);  1851 (op. 1d, spr. 358); 1852 (op. 1d, spr. 413); 1853 (op. 1d, spr. 432); 1854 (op. 1d, spr. 454); 1856 (op. 1d, spr. 486); 1858 (op. 1d, spr. 530); 1859 (op. 1d, spr. 487); 1861 (op. 1d, spr. 589); 1862 (op. 1d, spr. 611); 1863 (op. 1d, spr. 624)

So it looks like the surviving vital records are limited to a period of a couple of decades in the middle of the 19th century.  The unusual numbering of some of these records may have to do with the transfer of the surviving records from the Kamenets Podolskiy archives after the fire there two decades ago.  

Miriam Weiner's website also notes a number of Jewish revision lists for Zhvanets that were in the Kamenets Podolskiy archives (1811, 1834, and 1848-1871), and have probably also been transferred to the Khmielnitskiy archives.  Her website lists archival numbers, but I don't know whether those are up to date.
