NEW! A Head of Household Master Surname Index has been created by Deborah Glassman for all Lyubar Revision Lists 1816, 1834, 1850, and 1858, and including supplements, found in Novograd-Volynsk Administrative District record books held at the Zhytomir State Archive. 1872 will be added soon!

In 2017, I (ESK) hired the Ukrainian Bar Association for Foreign Affairs, who were exhibitors at RootsTech 2017, to search for a will or probate record. The following list of additional Lyubar records was supplied to me:

• Lists of Homesteads, Liubar 1923 (1274 pages); 1924 (1275pages); 1925 (117 pages)
• Lists of Land and Property Owners in Cherniahov, Liubar, Romanov, Chudnov 1924
• Documents on Land Mortgages for House Building in Liubar 1925

In 2014, I (ESK) hired Nadia Lipes of Jewish Genealogy in Ukraine. Although she found some folks with my surnames, it was not clear if she identified other records or looked through the following known resources.

The following list was compiled in 1999 by Yulia Zeveleva, formerly of the Jewish Preservation Committee of Ukraine. Additions have been added from Miriam Weiner's Routes to Roots Foundation online database as of April 2018. Other sources were listed in "Jewish Documentary Sources in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus: A Preliminary List" edited by Dorit Sallis and Marek Web, published by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, NY 1996.
