Gesher Galicia is pleased to announce the uploading of new indexes representing
5,240 more vital records to the All Galicia Database. This searchable online
database is free and available to all - at http://search.geshergalicia.org
1. Fond 701, in the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine, Lviv (TsDIAL).
The following new datasets from Fond 701 have been uploaded.
a) Borszczow Deaths 1872-1876. Fond 701/01/10. (129 records)
b) Kolomyja Births 1865. Fond 701/01/91. (113 records)
c) Husiatyn Deaths 1816-1876. Fond 701/01/35. (2,400 records)
We have been asked by supporters to describe our indexing work in the Ukrainian
archives of Jewish metrical (vital) records. Most of the books of known and
accessible Jewish vital records from Galician towns that are held in Ukrainian
state archives are in the state archive in Lviv (TsDIAL), in Fond 701, Series 1.
There are also some books in the Ivano-Frankivsk archive (DAIFO), of Jewish
vital records from that same town (formerly Stanislawow). Gesher Galicia has
been indexing Ukrainian-held Galician vital records for the past 10 years.
The known Jewish vital record books in Ukrainian archives come from 63 towns.
[Three of these - Lubycza Krolewska, Rzeszow and Tyczyn - are in present-day
Poland. The others are all in Ukraine.] Of the 63 towns, Gesher Galicia has
completed and uploaded indexes for all the records from 23 of these towns:
Bialy Kamien, Borszczow, Brody, Brzezany, Bukaczowce, Czortkow, Drohobycz,
Horodenka, Husiatyn, Jagielnica, Jezierzany, Kolomyja, Kozielniki, Mosty
Wielkie, Nadworna, Okopy, Podwoloczyska, Probuzna, Sambor, Tyczyn, Winniki,
Zbaraz, and Zloczow.
In addition, some 90% of the very large batch of records from Lwow have been
completed. Eric Bloch and his team of dedicated indexers have been working on
these records for the past eight years and are nearing completion of what they
set out to index - over 110,000 records to date. They have generously donated
these sets of indexes to Gesher Galicia, which have been put onto the All
Galicia Database.
Furthermore, Jewish Records Indexing-Poland recently announced that they had
indexed and put on the JRI-Poland database indexes for all the records from
three towns: Krzywce, Skalat, and Sokal. They had earlier also uploaded the
records from Rzeszow.
Gesher Galicia's current indexing project on Jewish vital records from Ukrainian
archives focuses on 14 further towns: Bolechow, Grodek Jagiellonski, Grzymalow,
Jezierna, Narajow, Rozdol, Rudki, Stanislawow, Stary Sambor, Stryj, Swirz,
Turka, Zborow, and Zolkiew.
Some of these, such as Stanislawow, consist of large record sets and will take
some time to complete; others are short sets that will be done quickly. Several
of these town indexing projects are already under way. The Stanislawow records
are from archives in both Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk, while the rest are all from
Lviv.
Gesher Galicia has also indexed six out of the 10 Mosciska vital record books
held in the Lviv archive, and five out of the six books for Lwow-Zniesienie.
2. Zbaraz index books, from Przemysl State Archive, Fond 2256
Up to now, all the known Zbaraz Jewish death records - from 1804 to 1942, with
gaps in 1809-1815 and 1940-1941 - had been indexed and put online, either on
Gesher Galicia's All Galicia Database or on the JRI-Poland database. All the
known and accessible marriage records up to 1910 and birth records up to 1912
had also been indexed and put online. The Przemysl State Archive has index
books (not full record books) of birth, marriages and deaths. To fill the gaps
where full records are not currently available, Gesher Galicia has transcribed
the relevant birth indexes from Sygn. 2 and 4 in Fond 2256. In this way, the
birth indexes from 1890 are now available for researchers (the 1890 book of
full birth records having been lost), as well as the birth indexes from 1913 to
1937. [The full book of records for 1913 has also been lost.] The Przemysl
archive does not have the birth indexes for the period 1938 to 1942. We have
also transcribed excerpts from Sygn. 7, so that marriage indexes - though
listing only the grooms - from 1911 to 1942 (with a gap during the Soviet
period of occupation in 1940-41) can now be searched.
These are the newly uploaded indexes:
d) Zbaraz Births (index books) 1913-1937, 1890. Excerpted from:
Przemysl State Archive, Fond 2256, Sygn. 2 and 4. (1,875 records)
e) Zbaraz Marriages (index book) 1911-1942. Excerpted from: Przemysl
State Archive, Fond 2256, Sygn. 7. (723 records)
