Shlomo Gurevich's research into his own family's roots led him to the unexpected discovery of how much valuable information could be gleaned from the 1912 Duma Voter Lists for conducting genealogical research into most of the Jewish families of the Pale of Settlement.

His impressive research was originally published on his own web site. We are delighted to make his article available on our newsletter, and thank him for his permission to do so.
