Revision Lists, Ostrog town, Kremenets District 1816, Translations1816
This dataset is a translation of the Jewish records in the revision lists for towns in the District of Kremenets. The census books of the Central State Archives in Ternopil Oblast were microfilmed by the LDS and are available in the Mormon Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Kremenets District Research Group is translating the revision lists.

Translated census entries have been indexed by surname, town, and source. Until the revision list translations are fully funded and all translations are completed, the translation spreadsheet is available only to those who have contributed in some way to the work of the Kremenets District Research Group. After the project is completed, the translation spreadsheet will be freely available to all. In the meantime, the master index (the Kremenets Concordance) is searchable, using Steve Morse"s One-Step search engine, on the
Kremenets KehilaLinks website. Be sure to read the document that describes the Concordance. The Concordance contains more than 2,500 revision list entries for the town of Ostrog.

For more information about how to obtain the full translation spreadsheet, or how to contribute to the translation project, contact the Kremenets District Research Group.
