Dear Kremenets district friends,
I'm pleased to announce that names, towns, and sources from the following
translated records have been added to the freely searchable Kremenets Concordance Database
Index:
- Shumsk Births,
1897, 1902, 1905, 1908-1913, 1916-1917, 1920-1936
- Pochayev Births,
1891-1936
- Shumsk Marriages,
1883-1891, 1923-1926, 1935
- Sefer Vishnivits (yizkor book
of Vishnevets, Ukraine; translation now
complete)
Translations of the birth and marriage records are
available in master spreadsheets on our Contributors Site (available to
those who have donated money [in any amount], documents, or services during
the previous two years). The yizkor book translation is available at JewishGen's Yizkor Book Project (https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Vishnevets/Vishnevets.html), and
Microsoft Word and PDF versions will follow soon on the Contributors Site.
Many thanks to those of you who have donated over the years to fund these
translations.
The Concordance continues to grow in value as the starting point for
researching your Kremenets-district ancestors. It now contains more than
300,000 entries (161,822 from vital records, 76,538 from the Revision
Lists, 23,340 from documents (other than vital records and revision lists)
obtained from the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People,
11,447 from Yizkor Books and Booklets, 9,554 from the Ellis Island
Database, and 5,647 from other sources, as well as 1,384 “see” and “see
also” references). It includes references to 1,216 town names; the 15 most
frequently cited are Kremenets, Vishnevets, Radzivilov, Shumsk, Katerburg, Yampol, Belozirka, Vyshgorodok, Lanovtsy, Berezhtsy, Oleksinets, Pochayev, Rokhmanov, Ostrog, and Dubno.
This year, we hope to complete translation and indexing of these records:

1880-1900, 1917, 1920-1937
- Kremenits, Vyshgorodek, un Potshayuv
