Dear Kremenets District Friends,
For most of the past year, I have been processing a large number of Revision
List translations that we have received from our dedicated translators. That backlog
now has been processed and more than 50,000 new entries have been added to our
Indexed Concordance of Personal Names and Town Names. I have just finished
updating (and correcting) the Concordance. The new version now has 122,443
entries, including the following:
|
Vital
Records |
57,875

The increased number of entries results from addition of newly translated (but
not yet proofread) revision lists for Kremenets District Towns. To search the
Concordance using Steve Morse's One-Step Search Engine, go to:
http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Kremenets/web-pages/master-surnames.html
Be sure to read the updated
Introduction and Guides document that explains how to interpret the Source and
Location in Source data in the Concordance. Many thanks to Adam Bronstein for
updating our searchable Concordance.
Here is a ranked list of towns that appear more than 500 times in the
