JRI-Poland "Surname Lists" are a compilation of family names
appearing one or
more times in the vital records of a number of towns that have been
indexed. All
variations in the spelling, as they were written by the town registrar
in the civil
records, have been included in each surname list.
As additional indices are added for a town (other years/types of
records), surnames not
previously in the list will be added.
This feature of Jewish Records Indexing - Poland
is provided as
an aid to researchers who may not initially recall or search for all
the names in their
various family branches, but whose memories may be sparked by scanning
the list.
If you are interested in finding records for any surname on the list,
search the JRI-Poland database for this
exact spelling in this town. Note
the source reference, and obtain the actual record. Information as to
how to obtain
records and what JRI-Poland provides is explained within the JRI-Poland
web site. Please
enter at the JRI-Poland home page to truly
understand
JRI-Poland.
The names come from Polish-language lists and transliterations
of Russian-language
lists, so that the spelling of a name may vary depending on its source.
In particular, the
letters "i" and "j" are interchangeable, as are "h" and the
sound "ch", and the letter "h" may sometimes appear as "g".
To view the special Polish characters, you need to have your browser
set to the proper
character set encoding.
- In Netscape 4 or above, click on the View menu. Then click
on Character Set. Then click on "Central European (ISO-8859-2)".
- In Microsoft Internet Explorer, click on the View menu.
Drag mouse to "fonts" and list is displayed. Then click on "Central
European Alphabet (ISO)".
These surnames are listed here in advance of the
indices to the records for
these towns being added to the JRI-Poland searchable database.
Your support for the data
entry work to make these
indices available will be appreciated.
