GeneralBiographical Names Collection, Center for Genealogical Research19th and early 20th CenturiesName ListsRussian Language Websites
The Russian language Center for Genealogical Research has created an alphabetic list of names with brief biographical notes about each. It covers the European territory of the former Russian Empire, persons born before 1918. About 10% of the names seem to be Jewish. We are extracting these Jewish names for our dataset, erring on the side of inclusiveness. The website contains about 420,000 primary surnames (almost 2,600 pages of primary surnames with about 160 names per page). Common surnames have multiple secondary pages, each with 10 to 15 people listed. For example the primary surname Kagan has six secondary pages with a total of 60 to 90 name entries. We estimate that the Center"s website has more than 6 million individual name entries ... between 500,000 and 1 million Jewish name entries. The entries seem to cover several countries and several provinces of Ukraine. They appear to be drawn from 5 reference works (all in Russian): 1) Address book of members of the All-Union Botanical Society; as of May 1, 1957. St. Petersburg. Publisher: USSR Academy of Sciences. Leningrad, 1958. (scanning funded by the Center for Genealogical Research) 2) City of Yekaterinburg.

GeneralBiographical Names Collection1784-1997Name ListsUkraine SIG Website, Downloadable Files
Several Russian language websites contain short biographies of Russians, both Jewish and non-Jewish. Ukraine SIG is extracting entries that appear to be for Jews and that have a Ukraine connection. We have begun by processing lists from two sources: Encyclopedia of Names, Kharkov Province, Volume 1 by Andrey Fedorovich Paramonov. Mr. Paramonov is Director of the Private Museum of Kharkov City Mansion, and Center for Genealogical Research (CGR). In addition, there are many "Memory Books" online. These memorialize soldiers and civilian casualties of wars, pogroms, and other events. Ukraine SIG is cataloging these and will begin extraction and translation projects when we obtain volunteer translators for the work. If you can help translate these important lists, please contact Janette Silverman
