[Resource] FamilySearch has added over 90 million new records, including over 18 million new images
Jewish Genealogy News
their searchable database, including over 18 Million new images. While
potentially most of them could be of interest to Jewish genealogists,
some stand out more than others. The most interesting are probably the
Naturalization records from California and New England (over a million
images combined), death and marriage records from Massachusetts (over
270,000 images), the 1935 Rhode Island state census (almost 700,000
images), almost 10,000 records from the 1892 NY State Census, and many
more.
Possibly of interest are over 250,000 church parish records from
Radom, Poland including birth, marriage, burial and death records for
the years 1654-1946. Unknown at this point if those records include
Jewish records, but recommend those with families from Radom to try
searching these to find out.
These are in addition to many useful records already in the
FamilySearch database, like the 1905 NY State Census, NY
Naturalizations, WWII draft cards, and an index to Antwerp, Belgium
records on foreigners living in the city from 1840-1930.
