Project Synopsis
The JewishGen Ukraine SIG has obtained the 1875 Zinkov Conscription List, which includes many localities in the Letichev district of Podolia Gubernia.
Among these towns and villages: Suslovets, Colony Staro-Zakrevsky Maydan, Derazhnya, Volkovintsy, Butsnevts, Shrubkov, Zapadints, Lisanovts, Pankov, Volosov, Molomolin, Redvints, Yaroslavka, Mytkovts, Snitovets, Olgopol, Snitovk, Ignatovets, Goloskov, and Mezhibuzh. The list indicates residents of Zinkov, as well as non-residents and temporary residents. There are over 1,700 pages that need to be translated and formatted.
We already have a translator ready to start on the project.
Funds raised for this project will be used to translate the records, entering them into a JewishGen spreadsheet template, to prepare the data for posting to the JewishGen Ukraine Database. The spreadsheet will be available to contributors before posting on the JewishGen Ukraine Database. Full translations may also be posted on the appropriate KehilaLinks websites.
Key Audience
The key audience for this project is people whose ancestors lived in or near Zinkov. There has also been interest expressed by people whose families are from elsewhere in the Letichev district.
Project Importance
Many of the records for this area were destroyed in a fire in the Kamenets-Podolsky Archives in 2003, so it is important to document what remains. For many of us, these particular records have the potential to give us insight and information into our families that isn't available elsewhere.
Project Description
The project will fund translation of the above-mentioned documents. Once complete, the new datasets will be integrated into the JewishGen Ukraine Database, and appropriate KehilaLinks websites.
Estimated Cost
$3,400
