About the Event
A great many Galician researchers have acquired copies of family records
from repositories in Poland and Ukraine or online images provided by the
State Archive or Genealogical organizations. Over the last twenty years, the
work of Jewish Records Indexing - Poland and Gesher Galicia has made
these records more readily available to all Galician researchers.
This session offers an in-depth examination of vital records along with a
strategic framework to help researchers in acquiring Galician records to
further their research. We will provide a historical perspective covering the
regulations that governed Jewish recordkeeping. We will make sense of the
regulations covering civil marriages that impacted the legitimacy and
surnames of children. Close examination of sample birth, marriage, and
death records will reveal the information contained in the records, identify
the records having the most genealogical value, and discover surprises
found in many of these records.
