Collected Records Processing, Balta vital records

Susan Rappoport

In progress

Ukraine SIG"s researchers have submitted translated records that they have obtained while pursuing their family history research. The SIG provides these records in uniform formats so that other researchers can search them. The translated records are posted on the appropriate KehilaLinks website and on JewishGen Ukraine Database where they are searchable. In addition, we extract key data points from each collected records set for the Ukraine SIG Master Name Index. Collected Records are noted as Collections on individual Town Pages.

Dalya Dektor submitted 49 Birth, 10 marriage and 10 death records for her Balta family in the period 1879-1904. The records are being processed for posting.
