JewishGen Danzig/Gdańsk SIG Presents:

Locations of Jewish Vital and Census Records from Danzig
This chart summarizes the locations of Jewish birth, marriage, death, burial, and census records from Danzig, including its precursor communities, either records created by or about the Jewish communities or, in italics, civil records that include Jews and non-Jews. Other types of records (e.g., tax lists) are not shown below, but may be available. Date ranges do not necessarily mean that there are records for every year in the range, but there often are. The "Uncertain" category is for records where the date range, communities, or both are uncertain (but might be determined upon further examination). "FHL X/Y" means Family History Library Microfilm X, item Y (note: there are discrepancies with Family History Library Catalog entries due to inaccuracies in the Catalog); "Da/X" and "HM2-X" identify files and microfilms in the Danzig Collection of the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People in Jerusalem; "APG X" means fond X of the Polish State Archives in Gdańsk (contact info at bottom); "USC" means the Civil Registry Office in Gdańsk; "GStA PK, X" means Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz signature X. Note: Some APG and Landesarchiv Berlin holdings are duplicates of FHL microfilms.

Green highlighting means that indexes of the records are searchable online as part of the Danzig Database, included in both JewishGen's Germany Database and Poland Database. Yellow highlighting means that indexing of the records is in progress (e.g., they are being transcribed or transcriptions are being proofread). Mixed green/yellow highlighting means that indexing of the records has been completed and the records will be added to JewishGen's searchable database soon. Cyan highlighting means that a substantial but incomplete name index is online as a preliminary step to full indexing of the records, which is in progress. For specific genealogical inquiries about in-process records, contact the SIG Coordinator. Acknowledgments: some of the information below comes from Peter Nash, some from Familienforschung in Westpreussen, some from SIG volunteers.
