| The marriage banns of Wyszków will be an important new
resource for researchers with an interest in this town and nearby towns and villages. The
marriage banns include copies of birth records or birth protocols (sworn statements from
witnesses containing the same basic information as birth records) for both the bride and
groom. The surviving Jewish birth, marriage and death records of Wyszków (in the Pultusk branch of the Polish State Archives) only start in 1874. These records have been indexed under the JRI-Poland / Polish State Archives project and are searchable in the on-line JRI-Poland database. More than half of the 218 banns records are from the years 1880 to 1890 and records will provide information on births that typically pre-date those available in the surviving Jewish vital records of this town.
The brides and grooms in these marriages were from 72 different towns and villages in the vicinity of Wyszków. The birth records that form part of the banns originate in 43 different towns. Lists of these towns and villages are included below. In a number of instances, the pre-1900 Jewish vital records for these towns have not survived, and these births are likely the only records available for certain families. Examples: Dlugosiodlo, Jadow, Goworowo, Ostroleka Because of the relatively small size of the Wyszków collection, JRI-Poland will create expanded indices and these will be available to researchers through the JRI-Poland on-line database. The fundraising target for this initiative is $180. Contributors of $25 will be eligible to receive an Excel file with all entries. For further information on the Wyszków Marriage Banns project, please contact Town Leader Howard Orenstein. 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 –
