Transliteration Guide
This is an indexed
concordance to Jewish personal names and town names recorded in the vital
records, Revision Lists, yizkor books, and other documents from and dealing
with Kremenets, Ukraine, and surrounding towns of the
Kremenets District. The major towns are Belozirka, Berezhtsy, Folwarki Wielkie, Katerburg, Kozin, Kremenets, Krupets, Lanovtsy, Oleksinets, Pochayev, Podberezhtse, Radzivilov, Rokhmanov, Shumsk, Sosnivka, Staryy Oleksinets, Vishnevets, Vyshgorodok, and Yampol.
All sources are described in detail 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 her birth surname and her married surname.
In addition, we have compiled a list of town names and the number of times each appears
in our documents. We have standardized on the modern spelling
used by JewishGen’s Ukraine Research Division (the pre-World-War-I spelling) as specified in
JewishGen’s Communities Database). We also include
the spelling that appears in the records. When the alternate spelling is
significantly different from the standardized name, we use “see” references to
point you to the standard name. Here are some statistics on the towns mentioned
in the current Concordance:

we received from the LDS and from the Central Archives for Belozirka,
Berezhtsy, Katerburg, Kremenets, Lanovtsy, Oleksinets, Pochayev, Rokhmanov, Shumsk, Vishnevets, and Vyshgorodok. We
have also included vital records that are indexed in the JewishGen
Ukraine Database and Bessarabia Database and that mention Kremenets-district

Center for Jewish Art (CJA), Hebrew
University, Jerusalem In the 1990s, the Center for Jewish Art
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. If the year cannot be read, it is replaced by unknown. 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

annotations through 1936) The Family List replaced the Revision Lists
in 1858. It was compiled once and supplemented annually. Information was
entered by crossing out and adding. When there was no room left for
changes, a new family list was created. In 1874, in the Russian Empire,
universal military service replaced conscription. To establish records of
those liable for military service, towns and cities maintained family and
conscription lists. These lists were compiled in 1874, with annotations on
births, deaths, marriages, conscriptions, and movements from town to town.
The lists include about 19,500 individuals. Translated by Elijah Baron, Julia Maksimova, and Roman Ravve. Edited by Ellen Garshick. Location in Source column: file number (or PDF page number)

Entries give you
the town name and abbreviated LDS Microfilm Number and tell 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. Entries for other
towns give the town name; CA means the records were obtained from the Central
Archives for the History of the Jewish People (CAHJP),
B1888 means this is an 1888 Birth record. DATO means that the record was
obtained from the Ternopil, Ukraine, State Archives. JGBSR
means that the record was retrieved from the JewishGen
Bessarabia database (https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Romania/), and JGUKR
means that the record was retrieved from the JewishGen
Ukraine database (https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Ukraine/). Location in

number on which the record is found, whether the event involves a male,
female or both (F=female, M=Male, x=both, as in a marriage), and the
sequential event number. For example: for vital records obtained from
the LDS Family History Library, 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 in this way. Similarly, for vital records obtained from CAHJP, the Location in Source entry 5322-5323 F41 means
the record is in files 5322 and 5323 and is the 41st female birth
in that dataset. Here is a list of

lists as they are translated and proofread. |
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 married 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 (https://www.jewishgen.org/Ukraine),
or on our Kremenets Kehilalinks
website (https://kehilalinks.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.
