Census list of Jewish residents in Svislock 1897

LIVERPOOL :
     Liverpool Jewish Archives are at the Main Liverpool Central Library Records Office. The Jewish archives go back to 1780. In these archives are booklets and listings of almost all of the Jewish cemeteries and who was buried there. They typically detail date of burial, name, address of person at death, age and plot number. The problem is that almost all of it is in written form and in English and/or Yiddish. Although almost entirely in English, it is handwritten in script form. One has to look at the details very carefully to get spellings correctly. One of the problems is that these documents (and there are many), which cover almost all of the Jewish cemeteries from early 18th century to current date are not allowed to be taken from the Library archives. They can only be viewed on location and only with special permission and only via appointment. >
     If you find something of interest in which you want to view, you must obtain permission to view them. In order to do this one must write to the Chief Rabbi, explaining whom you are and why you need to view the records. If he agrees, you get a letter giving you the permission. You then go back to the LRO and present your letter with a form telling them the indexed item you want to view. They retrieve it usually very quickly, within half an hour. The records are for reference only and you cannot remove or photocopy them. You can however take photographs of them. I will be starting a searchable website some time next year. The web site will be called "Liverpool Jewish Archives" and will contain a search screen allowing searches of all the registers. Source: Berny Goodheart e-mail: Berny.Goodheart@compaq.com .
