313 images corresponding to the 1907 births (2 pages missing from the full book) are already available on the All Odessa Database pending for their translation.

Hi all,

I have very good news. We have added to the All Odessa Database 56065 new records corresponding to the indexes of Births from 1878 to 1900

Enjoy !

The images are accessible online at https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2380520

Unfortunately, they are not indexed so name search is not possible.

A new collection of 5286 records has been added to the All Odessa database and is available for standard, soundex and D-M searches.

This Collection indexes the Odessa Jewish Heads of Household (1893-1916) from Odessa Office for Small Business.

The original source of the dataset (in Russian, compiled by Liliya Belousova and Tatiana Volkova in 1999) was found here in 2012.

The original dataset was first automatically transliterated by Ariel Parkansky, then translated, corrected and completed by Bena Shklyanoy.

The original dataset contains 4505 records but, as many of those records point to different locations, in our database a record has been created for each location, augmenting their number to 5286.

The original documents that are in the Odessa State Archives include additional information about each family.

Enjoy.
