Kipiler [Kopyl] Young Men's Benevolent Association,1958-71
contributed by Jerry Seligsohn
Arranged by the YIVO archivists in a box are two ledgers containing the business minutes of the
organization recorded in Yiddish and a record of the dues payments of the membership. The names given below
are from the recording of the dues payments. These were written in a haphazard manner. First names were often
left unnoted. Name spellings changed from page to page and often appeared to be phonetic scribbles rather than
accurate spellings. Some names were so illegible that they were excluded from the list. Other names were
recorded as reasonable guesses. It is advised that the viewer exercise caution in reading the names on
the list. Do not assume that the spelling is correct. But do not exclude a name you are looking for because of
the spelling.
