Dear Fellow
Kremenetsers,
I am VERY excited
and pleased to be able to write this message. After 9 years of work, we have
completed translation of the vital records that we obtained from the Mormons in
year 2000. Here are the key statistics.
·
Vital Records: 15,549 vital
records for the period 1870-1907, including
o
9,085 birth records
o
6,073 death records
o
367 marriage records
o
24 divorce records
In total, these
records contain almost 58,000 names.
We still are
proofreading the records. When that is done, we will post the entire set of
records to the JRI-Poland database and will make them available on cd-rom. In
the meantime, you can search our Indexed Concordance for your family names and
ask Sheree to extract full records for you. Here are the current Concordance
statistics.
·
Entries in the Concordance: 67,320
total., including
o
57,965 from the vital records
o
3,070 Concordance entries from Yizkor
Books
o
1,889 Concordance entries from Central
Archives docs
o
533 Concordance entries from Revision
Lists
o
49,154 Concordance entries that have
town names
o
685 town names in the Concordance, 486
distinctly different towns
o
666 "see" and "see
also" entries in the Concordance
The Concordance is
available on our Shtetlinks website:
http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Kremenets/web-pages/master-surnames.html
or,
Now we turn to the
Revision List (Census) translations. We have more than 13,000 Revision List
pages containing more than 150,000 names from towns throughout the Kremenets
District. The earliest records are from 1811. The most recent from the 1860s.
We have THREE paid translators currently working on these translations. We
still have to raise about $6,000 to ensure that we complete the translations.

enabled us to complete the Vital Records translation, and to get started on the
Revision Lists. Now, will you please continue helping by making a donation today
