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
shtetlach 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 her birth surname (her father’s
surname) and her married surname (her husband’s 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 Special Interest Group (the pre-World-War-I spelling) as specified in JewishGen’s Town Finder (the JewishGen
Gazetteer and JewishGen Communities Database).
However, 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 list:

The lists are not complete because document
acquisition and translation activities still are underway. Complete data for
the vital records and revision list translations are posted on JRI-Poland after the transliterated data are proofread and
edited. Yizkor book translations are posted on JewishGen’s Yizkor Book
Translation Project after they are edited. Links to these sites and other Kremenets information are available at the Kremenets KehilaLinks site.
This is a work in progress. The Concordance currently
contains 457,252 entries from the following sources:

We have completed translation of all the Kremenets vital records that we received
from the LDS and have also translated vital records from the Central Archives
for Belozirka, Berezhtsy, Katerburg, Kremenets, Lanovtsy, Oleksinets, Pochayev, Rokhmanov, Shumsk, Vishnevets, and Vyshgorodok, a total of 35,266 records. These include
24,353 births, 3,175 marriages, 141 divorces, and 7,913 deaths. All are
included in the Concordance, although not all have been edited and proofread.
Edited entries are shown in a boldface font.
An Excel
spreadsheet, Kremenets Translation
Projects: Document Acquisitions and Status, is linked from the KehilaLinks Research
Page. It
lists all the items we have acquired and identifies the status of each item.
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 (http://www.jewishgen.org/Ukraine),
or on our Kremenets Kehilainks
website (http://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.

location information in the Concordance so that you can locate the names you
seek the source documents,.
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 source

added to no. 420; About 250 pages.
This document is the official record of a court
trial held in Zaslaw (now Izyaslav),
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

Center for Jewish Art (CJA), Hebrew University, Jerusalem
Abbreviation in Source Column: Cem-CJA-xxx-yyyy Location:
not currently available
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.

fled Germany as a result of increasingly anti-Jewish legislation and violence
against Jews. Many fled eastward into Poland. Jewish communities throughout

allowed the local communities to form committees to assist the German Jewish
refugees. This document contains correspondence between the provincial

Abbreviation in Source Column: Vishnevets Landsmen, Chicago, 1920s Location: KehilaLinks Site
Location in Source column: Names are arranged alphabetically
List of 49 Vishnevetsers
in Chicago in the 1920s. Sue Siegel obtained the list which originally was
compiled by Myron Friedman in the 1930s. File has been posted on KDRG
Contributors website and on Kremenets Kehilalinks website.
Abbreviation in Source Column: VR Kremenets 60B1870, or,
VR Vyshgorodok CA-B1888
Location: Contributor Site (all records);
JRI-Poland (proofed records)
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. 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.
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 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: 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.

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 1995 with Booklet 19. Over the course of those 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.
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”.
