GeneralBiographical Names Collection1784-1997Name Lists, BiographicalUkraine SIG Website, Downloadable Files
Several Russian language websites contain short biographies of Russians, both Jewish and non-Jewish. Ukraine SIG is extracting entries that appear to be for Jews and that have a Ukraine connection. We have begun by processing lists from two sources: Encyclopedia of Names, Kharkov Province, Volume 1 by Andrey Fedorovich Paramonov. Mr. Paramonov is Director of the Private Museum of Kharkov City Mansion, and Center for Genealogical Research (CGR). In addition, there are many "Memory Books" online. These memorialize soldiers and civilian casualties of wars, pogroms, and other events. Ukraine SIG is cataloging these and will begin extraction and translation projects when we obtain volunteer translators for the work. If you can help translate these important lists, please contact Ron Doctor

GeneralBiographical Names Collection, Center for Genealogical Research19th and early 20th CenturiesName Lists, BiographicalRussian Language Websites
The Russian language Center for Genealogical Research has created an alphabetic list of names with brief biographical notes about each. It covers the European territory of the former Russian Empire, persons born before 1918. About 10% of the names seem to be Jewish. We are extracting these Jewish names for our dataset, erring on the side of inclusiveness. The website contains about 420,000 primary surnames (almost 2,600 pages of primary surnames with about 160 names per page). Common surnames have multiple secondary pages, each with 10 to 15 people listed. For example the primary surname Kagan has six secondary pages with a total of 60 to 90 name entries. We estimate that the Center"s website has more than 6 million individual name entries ... between 500,000 and 1 million Jewish name entries. The entries seem to cover several countries and several provinces of Ukraine. They appear to be drawn from 5 reference works (all in Russian): 1) Address book of members of the All-Union Botanical Society; as of May 1, 1957. St. Petersburg. Publisher: USSR Academy of Sciences. Leningrad, 1958. (scanning funded by the Center for Genealogical Research) 2) City of Yekaterinburg. Collection of historical statistics and background information on the city, with an address pointer and including some information on the Yekaterinburg district. A publication of Yekaterinburg Mayor I.I. Simanova. Yekaterinburg. Printed in Yekaterinburg Week in 1889. (Scanning funded by Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company). 3) Picturesque Russia. Volume 4. Part two. by P.P. Semionov; St. Petersburg - Moscow: 1881-1901, M.O. Wolf (bookseller-typographer).

GeneralRussian Language Websites, Catalog of Datasets19th and 20th centuriesCatalog of Online Documents and DatasetsUkraine SIG Website, Downloadable Files
Marilyn Robinson has been searching Russian language websites, identifying documents and datasets of interest to Ukraine SIG researchers. Marlis Humphrey and several volunteers have explored some of these sites and discovered additional documents and datasets. Marlis created an Excel spreadsheet that catalogs some of the content that has been discovered. As of 7 September 2012, the catalog contains 415 entries, representing 182 towns in Ukraine. We currently have web addresses for more than 1,000 Russian language datasets and Marilyn continues to find more. This is an extremely important project. We need volunteers who can read printed Russian to help identify the content of Marilyn"s "finds" and who will enter data into the Catalog. If you have Russian language skills, and are willing to help, please contact Ron Doctor or Marlis Humphrey. The Excel Catalog contains the following fields: Town Referenced Uyezd Guberniya Timeframe of Records Type of Information General Description Title Location of Records Owner of Records Format of Records Size of Collection Percent Jewish Records URL - Online URL - Local Language Typed or Cursive No. of Records No. of Fields Fields     A document that explains entries in the Catalog can be downloaded by clicking on this link. Ukraine SIG is helping Town Leaders and KehilaLinks Owners prioritize the datasets for their towns and to create fundraising projects to translate the datasets.
