Register of Births of Kaal Kadosh Mickve Israel

Introduction By Sarina Roffe

BACKGROUND

These records are derived from the philadelphiacongregations.org register of births of Kaal Kadosh Mickve Israel. The records were transcribed from two sources: a bound handwritten volume of birth certificates for members of Congregation Mikveh Israel, dating from 1843 to 1886 and a similar volume dating from 1841 to 1862. Each certificate includes the date of birth in both the Gregorian and Jewish calendars, the name of the newborn, parents' names, the name of the shamas (the synagogue's sexton) recording the birth, and a link to an image of the original record.
