About the address books
The entries come from the Radautz section of the Address Book for Czernowitz and its Suburbs for 1909 and 1914, transcribed by Edgar Hauster. They cover the whole town – Jewish, German, Romanian, Ruthenian and Polish residents alike – and also list institutions such as the Jewish community (Kultusgemeinde), the churches, the schools and the state stud farm. These are address books, not a census: they list mainly heads of household and homeowners.
Names, professions and street names are given in German, as printed. A homeowner (Eigentümer, marked E. in the books) is marked owner. On the street pages, obvious misspellings of a street name are grouped under one spelling; each entry still shows the spelling of the book.
