JewishGen Gazetteer – Data Contents
The JewishGen Gazetteer
contains the modern names of all localities in the 54 countries of Europe,
North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
The data is based on the U.S. Board on Geographic Names databases.
The database contains information about more than 2.4 million localities
— over one million of which are "populated places" (i.e., towns,
cities, villages, etc.). The remaining localities are the names of
geographical features (i.e., lakes, rivers, mountains, etc.).
The statistics for each country are in the table below.
The database was updated for each country's place names as of the date shown below. Updates are currently on hold.
