Introduction
This is
an Indexed Concordance to Jewish personal names and town names recorded in the
vital records, revision lists, and other documents of Kremenets, Ukraine and
surrounding shtetlach of the Kremenets District. It also includes personal names and town
names that occur in the Yizkor Books of Kremenets and surrounding towns. These
include the two Kremenets Yizkor Books, the series of 18 Booklets published by
the Kremenets Association of Emigrants, and the Pochayev,
Shumsk, Vishnevets, and Yampol Yizkor Books. We have added names extracted from
many other documents that deal with Jews of the Kremenets District. All sources
are described in detail later in this document. Personal names include given
names and patronymics as well as other indicators of relationships. For women,
wherever possible, we have included both the surname of her father and her
husband.
In addition, we have compiled a simple list of town names
and the frequency with which each appears in our documents. We have
standardized on the modern BGN spelling from JewishGen's ShtetlSeeker.
However, we also include the spelling that appears in the records. When the
alternate spelling is significantly different from the BGN name, we have used
"see" references to point you to the BGN name. The list currently has
876 town name entries, representing 645 different towns or areas. These town
names are from 110,474 Concordance entries that mention towns. One hundred and
two towns are listed 20 times or more in the documents. Forty town names appear
at least 100 times, and 14 towns appear at least 1,000 times.
The
lists are not complete because translation activities are still underway.
Complete data for the vital records and revision list translations are posted
on JRI-Poland (http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl) after the transliterated data
are proofread and edited. Yizkor Book translations are posted in the Kremenets
section of JewishGen’s Yizkor Book website (http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets/kremenets.html) after they are edited. Links to
these sites and other Kremenets information are available at the Kremenets ShtetLinks website:
(http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Kremenets).
This is
a work in progress. The Concordance currently contains 129,149 entries (61,377 from
vital records, 53,880 from the Revision Lists, 4,732 from documents obtained
from the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People, 3,270 from the
Yizkor Books and Booklets, 2,918 from the Ellis Island Database, and 1,960 from
other sources, and also has 929 “see” and “see also” references). We have
completed translation of all 15,549 Krements vital
records that we received from the LDS plus 1,009 vital records from Vyshgorodok. All of them are included in the Concordance,
although not all have been edited and proofread. Edited entries are shown in a
bold-face font.
Edited vital
records entries uploaded to JRI-Poland’s database include:
Kremenets vital records
Birth Records: 1870-1877, 1893-1895
Death Records: 1870-1872, 1894
The unedited entries include the following:
Kremenets
vital records
Birth Records: 1878-1886, 1888-1892, and 1896-1906
Marriage Records: 1899 through 1902, and 1904
Divorce Records: 1903 & 1904
Death Records: 1873-1878, 1880-1893,
1895-1897, 1900-1902, and 1904-1907
Vyshgorodok vital
records
Birth
records: 1878-1889, 1895-1900
Names from the vital records have been transliterated from the Hebrew/Yiddish ledger pages for this Concordance. However some of the unedited entries are from the Russian side of the ledger. Names in the Hebrew/Yiddish column that are from the Russian side of the ledger are in italics. In addition, in some vital records the surname of women is the surname of her father, but in others no surname is given. For those female records lacking a surname we have input her married surname. This is indicated by an asterisk following the surname. We will update all records during the editing and proofreading process. In the meantime, when you search, be sure to search for variations in the spelling of your surname.
We have tried to standardize the transliteration of these surnames to English, but be aware that in some cases our translators applied common usage to the spelling of names. With a few exceptions, our Guidelines are based on the ANSI Z39.25-1975 General Purpose Standard for Hebrew, YIVO’s transliteration schema for Yiddish and on e-mail correspondence with Alexander Beider. To resolve any remaining ambiguity in the Hebrew transliteration, we have used the Russian pronunciation as a guide to the English spelling. Please see the Kremenets Shtetl CO-OP document “Kremenets Hebrew/Yiddish Transliteration Guidelines”. It describes the techniques we used. The Guidelines document is available on the JewishGen’s Ukraine Special Interest Group (Ukraine SIG) website (http://www.jewishgen.org/Ukraine), or on our Kremenets Shtetlinks website (http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Kremenets/).
Transliterations often cannot be exact. In particular, commonly interchangeable letters include /h/ & /g/, /p/ & /f/, /o/ & /a/, /o/ & /u/, /y/ & /i/, and /i/, /ay/ & /ey/. The Hebrew letter /chet/ does not appear in Yiddish. We have transliterated it as /ch/ to differentiate it from /khaf/, which we have transliterated as /kh/. The reader should be aware that such differences in spelling might occur for any specific name. Consequently, you should be sure to search for spelling variations of surnames.
One further note is in order. Surnames often are absent
in older documents and in most cemetery inscriptions. Instead, we find only
given names, sometimes with a patronymic (given name followed by the father’s
given name). So, when looking for names, be sure to search the Index for given
names as well as surnames. To help you make sense of the entries that contain
only given names, we have added the year that appears in the document.

As noted above, data in the Concordance were extracted from
several sources: Revision Lists, Vital Records, Yizkor Books and other
documents. Surnames in the Concordance are in alphabetic order using the Hebrew
transliteration. This section describes each source document and shows the
abbreviations we use in the Source column to identify the different

A 1747 Court Record of a trial of 14 Kremenets-area Jews
accused of ritual murder

Vacat added to no. 420; About 250 pages.
This document is the official record of a court trial
held in Zaslaw (now Izyslav),
in the Kremenets District, in April and May 1747. In it, 14 Jews are accused of
murdering a Christian traveler, draining his blood and using the blood in matzoh. The Jews were convicted after testimony elicited
under torture. Their penalties are gruesome. This type of accusation is known
as “ritual murder” or “blood libel”. It has been a primary instrument of anti-semitism since at least the 11th century.
It has been proven false over and over again, but still persists, even to this
day. Jacek Proszyk
translated the document from archaic Polish to modern Polish. One of our
Kremenets members (who wishes to remain anonymous) translated the document from
modern Polish to English.
Names in italics are in Polish from the original
document. They follow the transliterated surnames. The “Location in Source”
column gives the page number in the original document where each name is
occurs.
Center for Jewish Art (CJA), Hebrew University,
Jerusalem
Abbreviation in Source
Column: CJA-xxx-yyyy
In the 1990s, the Center for Jewish Art (Hebrew
University, Jerusalem) went on several expeditions to Jewish cemeteries in the
towns of Volhynia Guberniya. These Concordance
entries derive from the matzeva photos they took and
gravestone data they recorded. Each item is identified in the Source
column of the Concordance by the abbreviation CJA-xxx-yyyy. The xxx is the name of the town where
the Cemetery is located. The yyyy is
the year recorded on the matzeva. If the year cannot
be read, it is replaced by unknown. The Location in Source column
gives the CJA identification number for each stone, followed by the recorded
year, if available.
The CJA data sheets contain detailed descriptions of the matzevot, the inscription in Hebrew, English translation
the inscription, and remarks that explain the source and context of phrases in
each inscription. Note that most of these matzevot do
not contain surnames, but most include patronymics (given name of the
deceased’s father). We have included the patronymic in the Given Name
column of the Concordance. Also, if the deceased of the deceased’s father was a
Rabbi, that information is included in the Given Name column.

In 1938, German Jews fled Germany
as a result of increasingly anti-Jewish legislation and violence against Jews.
Many fled eastward into Poland. Jewish communities throughout Poland took in
the refugees and provided for their welfare. At first Polish authorities
opposed these activities. But by the end of 1939, they relented and allowed the
local communities to form committees to assist the German Jewish refugees. This
document contains correspondence between the provincial authorities and the
Kremenets committee. It includes a list of the committee members along their

The Revision Lists that we have obtained are censuses of
Jewish residents in the towns of the Kremenets District. They include the years
1811, 1816, 1850, and 1858, plus supplementary Censuses taken in-between those
years. We do not have Jewish records from the 1834 Census. They are available

(1811). The 8th Revision (1834) is on microfilm nos. 2213482 through
2213487 and 2234586 through 2234592, but we did not find Jewish records in our
initial perusal of these films. The next 3 films are for the 9th
Revision (1850). And, the last 4 films are for the 10th Revision
(1858). Part of the 10th Revision is on film 2346519. In total, we
have 13,546 pages, about 11.8 MB of data on dvd. We
estimate that the microfilms contain about 40,000 records with more than

These are examples of source abbreviations for names from
vital records. The Kremenets entries give you the town name and abbreviated LDS
Microfilm Number, tells you what type of record this is (B=Birth, M=Marriage,
v=Divorce, D=Death), and in what year the event occurred. For example: 60B1870 means that the
microfilm number is 2086060, the record is a birth record, and the birth
occurred in 1870. The Vyshgorodok entries give the
town name, CA means the records were obtained from the Central Archives for the
history of the Jewish People, B1888 means this is an 1888 Birth record.
For Kremenets, the “Location in Source” column identifies
the file number from the corresponding cd-rom data disk. For Vyshgorodok, the “Location in Source” column entry is the
page number set that is on the original ledger page. The “Location in Source”
column also tells you whether the event involves a male, female or both
(F=female, M=Male, x=both, as in a marriage), as well as the sequential event
number. For example: 351 F43 in combination with 60B1870 means that this
record is the 43rd female birth in 1870. The record is in file 351 on LDS disk
(microfilm number) 2086060. Each record on the microfilms is uniquely identified

Abbreviation in Source Column: YB-Kremenets:
Stein (example)
This is an example of a source abbreviation for names
from Yizkor Books. Each source starts with YB-, followed by the town name. For
the several Kremenets-District Yizkor Books the surname of the Yizkor Book
Editor is added after the hyphen.
The Organization of Kremenets Emigrants produced a
series of Booklets beginning in 1967 with Booklet 1 and ending in 1982 with
Booklet 18. Over the course of those 16 years, the title of the Booklets and
the list of editors changed. We refer to these Booklets by number and
publication year in the Concordance. A typical bibliographic citation, Goldenberg
…, is given below. A complete bibliography of the 18 Booklets is available
in the translation of Pinkas Kremenets on
the JewishGen website and on the Kremenets Shtetlinks website (http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Kremenets/web-pages/yizkor-books.html).
The “Location in Source” column in the Concordance
gives the page number(s) on which the surname appears. When the entry is from a
Yizkor Book Necrology, the “Location in Source” column says “Necrology”.
Here are the bibliographic descriptions of each Yizkor Book
