Surviving Dukla Jewish Records

Surviving Dukla Jewish vital records (birth marriage and death records) only exist for sporadic years between 1914 and 1941. All the records before 1914 were destroyed by fire at the beginning of WWI, and the Dukla Jewish Community was liquidated in 1942 during the Shoah. The surviving records are found in the Dukla Urzad Stanu Cywilnego (USC) (civil records office).


JRI-Poland has indexed all these surviving records. Altogether there are 375 birth, 94 marriage and 543 death entries (see inventory chart below).

The information found in the JRI-Poland transcribed indexes includes in many, but not all, cases:

      Births - name of infant, birthplace, parents' names, their towns of birth and towns of residence (where other than Dukla).

      Marriages -full names of couple, their ages and their parents' names, and towns of birth and residence (where other than Dukla).

      Deaths - name of deceased, age at death, parents' names, birthplace and last town of residence (where other than Dukla).

The Dukla birth, marriage and death records are held in the Dukla USC rather than at the Polish State Archives. All the books with the marriage and death records are more that 80 years old and are eligible to be transferred to the Przemysl branch of the Polish State Archives. The surviving birth records from 1915-1917 and 1920 are also eligible to be sent to the Przemysl archives as they are more than 100-years old. However, it is currently unknown when that will happen.

Researchers are able to obtain a copy of the JRI-Poland transcribed Dukla index information related to their specific family surname. There is a modest contribution required to help recover the indexing costs. Researchers will also be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement given the still private nature of the records involved. To obtain the indexed information for family surnames, contact: dukla@jri-poland.org

A Note about other Dukla vital records found on various websites.

Civil registration in Galicia began in 1784, and Catholic parish registers were at first used as the civil records. After 1869, non-Catholics were responsible for keeping their own vital records. Recent records are kept at the local civil records office.

Familysearch.org (the genealogy website maintained by the Latter Day Saints (LDS)) includes among its imaged, but unindexed pages, approximately 800 images found in 12 on-line files described as "1823-1855 - Baptism Records, Death Records, Marriage Records" for Dukla. While these LDS images have not been closely examined, it appears upon initial review that these are parish records, and it is unclear that they contain any entries for Dukla's Jewish population.

Likewise, the Sanok Branch of the Polish National Archives contains on its website, 2 on-line files of imaged (and again unindexed) pages: "Księga małżeństw dla miasta Dukla 1901-1914" [Book of marriages for the city of Dukla 1901 -1914] (15 scanned pages) and "Księga urodzeń dla miejscowości Dukla 1856-1908" [Book of births for the town of Dukla 1857-1908] (154 scanned pages). A review of these images also appears to show that they are parish records, which do not contain any births that occurred within the Dukla Jewish community.
