This book is not dedicated to specific people. This book - an overview document of the Odessa archives on the history of the Jews of Odessa. This is an index - an application to the book. There is only the information that I wrote.

What can be learned from it? There is a fund of 359, which contains lists of posemeynye townspeople of Odessa. If not mistaken, these lists were drawn up for the military presence and are not included in all family members (as in fairy tales registered males), but only those who are dependent on the person. Typically, this is my wife (if the person is married) and children (if any). If you have a wife, then the date of the wedding and the number of entries in the register (very useful information for genealogists, by the way). How to get to these lists? You should write a request to the archive with details of the case (fund 359, inventory 1, file lists, and - from the book).

Many Russian Jews sought higher education in countries other than Russia because of the limitations on Jews attending universities.

1. University of Bern has a handwritten database of students (alphabetical)--1805-1834;1834-1914 found at: http://apps.uniarchiv.unibe.ch/index.php?syst=stud_1804_1834 and http://apps.uniarchiv.unibe.ch/index.php?syst=stud_1834_1914

You can click on the desired letter for the last name or enter the name in a search box.

The pages (for the 1834-1914) include the student #, date (datum), name, birth date (geboren), faculty (fakultat), home country (heimat), rector (rektor), certificates (zeugnisse), and comments (obemerkungen) sections. This catalog appears to have many more Jews than the 1805-1834 catalog.

A few names are: Issak Abelin (Witebsk), Lestmann Yankel Salman (Riga), Sorkina, Malka (Cherson), Barsach, Moische ((Howel), Lipsky, Ephraim (Riga), Epstein, Meier (Pinsk), Goldenberg, Josef (Odessa), Kopp, Markus (Cherson), Raduzkaja, Bassija (Kiev), et al.

Hi everybody,
I've got big news. After a lot of work new section "Books Database" has been added under the Research menu (at http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/odessa/RES_Books_Home.asp).

The old "Online Resources & databases" section has disappeared. The books are now on the Books Database section.
All external databases have been moved to the Links section.

What's new on the Books Database?
a) Two new books have been added: "the 1876 List of Jewish Landlords" and the "1900 All Odessa Address Directory"
b) And more important, I started to treat the books to make them searchable.
The scanned images have been treated with the following automatic process:
1) digitized with an OCR,
2) converted to the reformed Russian orthography,
3) translated to English by Google.
Therefore it is expected to have many errors. As I could see with these first books the OCR errors will depend on the quality and the complexity of the original images.
The 1900 Odessa directory has many columns, pages with different sections, rotated adds, many graphics and symbols and therefore the automatic OCR has struggled and generated many errors. The other two books are much simpler and the OCR has generated less errors.

Despite the errors, this treatment allows you to perform searches both in Cyrillic and Roman. You can also browse the books page by page as before.
The digitized texts (corrected Russian and Translated to English) can be found below each page image of the book. As the texts are not formatted, a page with columns or sections will be hard to read but I think that can be still useful and after a search the searched text will be highlighted.

New books will be treated in the future.

As always the translation of the vital records continues its normal course and new records are included every week.

Hope you enjoy.

Hi everybody,

Long time ago I've published the Alphabetical Index of the Odessa Directory automatically treated by OCR, so many errors where there.

After a lot of work, this index (almost 7000 family names) has been corrected and integrated into the All Odessa Database. Now, you can search for a name (soundex or DM). The record will show you the name, the neighborhood and the pages on the directory where the information can be found. By clicking on each page number you'll automatically navigate to the directory page. Unfortunately the full page is not translated by the moment.

As always, you can also directly browse the Full Directory.
But now, when browsing the Index pages you'll be able to see all the transliterated names below and navigate to the corresponding records.

A big thank you to Gloria Geller who spent 6 months reviewing and correcting the index, and preparing it for its integration into the database !!!! THANK YOU GLORIA !!!
