The 1939 census of Biala Podlaska is a unique snapshot of a Jewish population of a Polish
town at a very crucial time in history. Through it, we can know the names of each member
of every family at that time.And this census lets us know
their connections to their antecedents who lived in the 19th century - and
whose births, marriages and deaths can be researched in the 1878 to 1900 indices of Biala
Podlaska vital records (recently indexed under the JRI-Poland
/ Polish State Archives project.)
The census was recorded on approximately 2800 two-sided
highly detailed cards, 21 cm x 19 cm. Each card contains a wealth of genealogical
information for a researcher with a connection to the individual and family.
The census cards generally contain the following information
(see sample below)
Front:
Name, Given Name(s), Parent's names, Date of Birth, Place of
Birth, Legal Residence, Dates of arrival/departure from Biala Podlaska, Religion, Draft
Status, Citizenship Status, Given Names of Children with Date and Place of Birth.
Back:
Previous residences (town, county, district, street, house
number), Date of Arrival in Community, Date of Registration, Next Place of Residence (in
case of death, it indicates "deceased"), Date of Departure from Community (often
is the date of deportation), Date of Removal from Residency Register. Changes of Address
within the Community, Commissariat (Police District), Street and House number, Date of
Arrival, Date of Departure, Notes about Penal History.
Some cards include Property, Other Identification, or Changes of
Status. Cards contain notations up to 1942 and one card states: "in 1947 in Tel
Aviv".
Because of 100-year Polish privacy laws, the JRI-Poland on-line
index will only contain the basic information for each individual. Researchers with an
interest in their families’ records must identify themselves as relatives when
ordering copies of the cards from the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation Genealogy Project at the
Jewish Historical Institute.
The fundraising target for this initiative is $1,000.
Contributors of $54 will be eligible to receive an Excel file with partial extracts of all
the data.
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.
