JRI-Poland Kremenets Shtetl CO-OP Project

Welcome to the Kremenets Shtetl CO-OP vital records project. This page includes an inventory of the 1870 to 1907 Jewish vital records for Kremenets that are available on seven LDS microfilms. The records in these films are an incredibly rich source of information. They include not only the given names of the child, but also the given name of the mother and the father’s given name, surname and sometimes his patronymic. Some records include the father’s social class. Some show the town or shtetl in which the father is registered. This often is different from Kremenets, but usually is nearby.

The microfilms contain about 15,000 records, mostly birth and death registrations. The records are in Russian and Yiddish cursive writing. The left side of each ledger page is in Russian. The right side presents the same data (sometimes with additional information) in Yiddish. Some years are incomplete or missing. There are about 5,000 pages in each language! Unfortunately, there are no index pages for these records. To view the inventory, click here.

The Kremenets Shtetl CO-OP was organized to create a searchable database of these vital records. Translations of the records will be available on-line in the Jewish Records Indexing
