The Genealogical Research Division of

JewishGen-erosity — Romania Regional Projects

Holding more than 1.2 million records, the JewishGen Romania Research Division preserves and shares the rich history of Jewish life in historic Romania, including Moldova, and historic Bessarabia through archival records, vital records, and specialized research initiatives. The Division documents life in small shtetls and outlying communities, offering a comprehensive view of social, economic, and cultural life across centuries, including census data, voter lists, business directories, vital records, and records of Holocaust survival and Soviet-era persecution.

The Romania Research Division focuses on initiatives that preserve Jewish heritage and make it accessible to researchers and descendants. The Bucharest Records Project and Iasi County Records Project index the names of Jewish residents in these regions, while the Romania Cemetery Project documents and protects Jewish burial sites, safeguarding the memory of entire communities. Donations also support broader Romania research efforts, helping the Division gather, organize, and share historical records for future generations. Your support strengthens the Division’s ability to expand its digital collections and continue serving thousands of users worldwide who are reconnecting with Romanian Jewish history.
