Courland-Kherson Jewish Relocation1837-1840
This database contains information about 5,872 Jews who relocated from towns in Courland to agricultural colonies in Kherson Gubernia in 1837 and 1840.

The documents were handwritten in Russian, and reference the years 1837 and 1840.  The documents cover all the major towns in Courland Gubernia — Bausk, Friedrichstadt, Gazenpot, Goldingen, Grobin, Jakobshtat, Libava, Mitava, Pilten, Polangen, Tuckum, and Vindava.  Unfortunately, these documents do not specify to which of the Kherson colonies these Jews relocated.

These records were photocopied by the Latvian National Archives (Latvijas Nacionālais Arhīvs) at the request of the JewishGen Ukraine SIG.  The Latvian National Archives are located at Šķūņu Street 11, Rīga, LV-1050, Latvia.  The records are all from Fond 412, Office of Courland Governor.  To see the originals, please contact the archives directly — JewishGen does not have permission to circulate the copies.
