There are 209 unique surnames mentioned, and the age at death varies from 34 hours to 87 years. Individuals are often identified by their relationship to another person such as "son of the wood guard," "wife of the tailor," "wife of the restaurant owner," and "wife of the furrier."

Because of the limited number of records available for this project, JRI-Poland has fully extracted all the information in the register and will make it available to researchers through the JRI-Poland on-line database.

The fundraising target for this initiative is $90. Contributors of $18 will be eligible to receive an Excel file with all 208 entries.

The indices for this project will be released to the JRI-Poland database after the fundraising target has been met. However, contributors of the minimum (referred to above) will receive the Excel file as soon as it is available.

Contributions should be made to Jewish Records Indexing – Poland.
