The regional government newspapers, Gubernskie Vedomosti, published in the provinces of the Russian Empire for much of the 19th century and until 1917, contained a wide variety of official announcements, many of them seeking to take official action against individuals considered to have transgressed in some way against the State or other individuals. There was no shortage of avenues for the Jewish inhabitants of Courland to be so identified, with defaulting on tax payments representing but one example. The list below appeared in the Gubernskie Vedomosti for Courland on 15 June 1866, and was transcribed by Rebecca Simmons. A similar earlier list from Mitau is also available, as are additional resources and information based on this rich source.
