JGSGB German SIG – Sun 5 Dec 2021 2pm – “Primary Jewish records in Austria Hungary” by Christina Kaul

Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is a German Special Interest Group Meeting by Zoom.

• Date: Sunday 5 Dec 2021
• Time: 14:00 London; 09:00 New York; 16:00 Jerusalem; 07:00 Salt Lake City
• Title: “Primary Jewish records in Austria Hungary”
• Speaker: Christina Kaul
• Description: Our talk concerns Jewish records in Austria Hungary (Austria, Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia, Hungary). The sources cover Jewish community books, Familianten books and Catholic control books on Jewish inhabitants as well as Jewish conscriptions and land records. The talk will focus on primary records rather than secondary databases like JewishGen and thus allow researchers and family historians to go back further in time; for example, the 1651 census in Moravia includes Jewish communities and that in parts of Moravia Jewish land records are digitized going back as far as 1550.

After Christina’s talk, you will be able to ask her questions about it.

Hopefully after the talk, we will also have time to discuss some of the new developments and recent discoveries in German-Jewish genealogy. As ever, the presentation from the meeting will be made available after the meeting, and the meeting will end with an opportunity for you to ask any questions about your own family history research. It would be helpful if you could email them in advance to jeanette.r.rosenberg@googlemail.com before the meeting.

JGSGB German SIG future meetings are: 6 March 2022, 12 June 2022 (delayed 1 week due to Shavuot), 4 September 2022 and 4 December 2022. Please add them to your calendar.
