Introduction

This is an indexed concordance to Jewish personal names and town names recorded in the vital records, Revision Lists, yizkor books, and other documents from and dealing with Kremenets, Ukraine, and surrounding towns of the Kremenets District. The major towns are Belozirka, Berezhtsy, Folwarki Wielkie, Katerburg, Kozin, Kremenets, Krupets, Lanovtsy, Oleksinets, Pochayev, Podberezhtse, Radzivilov, Rokhmanov, Shumsk, Sosnivka, Staryy Oleksinets, Vishnevets, Vyshgorodok, and Yampol.

All sources are described in detail in this document. Personal names include given names and patronymics as well as other indicators of relationships. For women, wherever possible, we have included both her birth surname and her married surname.

In addition, we have compiled a list of town names and the number of times each appears in our documents. We have standardized on the modern spelling used by JewishGen’s Ukraine Research Division (the pre-World-War-I spelling) as specified in JewishGen’s Communities Database). We also include the spelling that appears in the records. When the alternate spelling is significantly different from the standardized name, we use “see” references to point you to the standard name. Here are some statistics on the towns mentioned in the current Concordance:

The lists are not complete because document acquisition and translation activities still are underway. Complete data for the vital records and revision list translations are posted on JRI-Poland after the transliterated data are proofread and edited. Yizkor book translations are posted on JewishGen’s Yizkor Book Translation Project after they are edited. Links to these sites and other Kremenets information are available at the Kremenets KehilaLinks site.

We have also included vital records that are indexed in the JewishGen Ukraine Database and Bessarabia Database and that mention Kremenets-district towns. In total, the vital records comprise 24,871 births, 3,371 marriages, 196 divorces, and 8,674 deaths. All are included in the Concordance.

An Excel spreadsheet, Kremenets Translation Projects: Document Acquisitions and Status, lists all the items we have acquired and identifies the status of each.

This document is the official record of a “ritual murder” or “blood libel.” court trial held in Zaslaw (now Izyaslav), in the Kremenets District, in April and May 1747.

Jacek Proszyk translated the document from archaic Polish to modern Polish. One of our Kremenets members (who wishes to remain anonymous) translated the document from modern Polish to English.

Sergey Kravtsov of the Center for Jewish Art, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, first brought this document to our attention in 2008. Many people were involved in helping us locate and obtain a copy of this document. Peggy Pearlstein, one of our members, and other staff at the US Library of Congress tried to identify and locate the document. Gila Manusovitch-Shamir, one of our members, and Benjamin Lukin at the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People (CAHJP, Hebrew University, Jerusalem) located the document and made arrangements to copy it. Susan Sobel, one of our Israeli Board members obtained the copy from Esther Lichtenstein at the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People, Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

The Kremenets entries are on pp. 42-63 of the 1890 reprint. The census lists 978 households in Kremenets. Of these, 113 are Jewish households. Only the Jewish households are listed in the Concordance.

Cemeteries / Burial Data

 

Cem-CJA-[town]-[year]

Center for Jewish Art (CJA), Hebrew University, Jerusalem

In the 1990s, the Center for Jewish Art went on several expeditions to Jewish cemeteries in the towns of Volhynia Guberniya. These Concordance entries derive from the matzeva photos they took and gravestone data they recorded. If the year cannot be read, it is replaced by unknown.

The CJA data sheets contain detailed descriptions of the matzevot, the inscription in Hebrew, English translation the inscription, and remarks that explain the source and context of phrases in each inscription. Note that most of these matzevot do not contain surnames, but most include patronymics (given name of the deceased’s father). We have included the patronymic in the Given Name column of the Concordance.

Kreminitzer Congregation Beth Duvid Anshi Poland, NY (KrNY-2a and 2b, 1909)

Kremenitzer Young People’s Progressive Club, NY (KrNY-3, 1914)

On 2 December 1907, the First Independent Kraminitzer Benevolent Association and the Kishener and Kraminitzer Congregation Beth Duvid merged. The new organization was called Chevra Beth Duvid Kraminitzer Anshi Poland (KrNY-1). The document, recorded at the Supreme Court, New York County, identifies the people who were involved in the consolidation of these two societies.

In 1909, the Kremnitzer Congregation of the House of Duvid and the Chevra Gemilath Chesed Anshi Poland merged. The new organization was named Kreminitzer Congregation Beth Duvid Anshi Poland. It also was known as the Congregation or Brotherhood of the former residents of the City of Kreminitz, Russia-Poland. Two documents dated 8 May 1909 list the officers of each organization. The documents were filed with the Supreme Court of the State of New York.

The Certificate of Incorporation (no. 4389) for the Kremenitzer Young People’s Progressive Club of New York was filed and recorded on 18 September 1914.

Kremenets Landsmanshaft in New York, Membership List, 27 Apr 1973 (KrNY-4 1973)

Kremenetser Membership List, 27 April 1973. Norm Kagan, son of William (Wolf) Kagan, sent us an e-mail message containing names of 23 NYC Kremenitzers. (Wolf Kagan was Secretary of the NY Kremenitz Landsmanshaft.) The names are from a handwritten list that he found among his father’s papers. The list “was written on stationary which read, in part: ‘Ribal Library of Haskalah - in memory of the martyrs of Kremenetz, Volyn at the Teachers’ State college Seminar Hakibutzim, Tel Aviv, Bnei Efraim Str. 1.”

MA-1966

Kremenets Memorial Album at Yad Vashem

In the 1960s, emigrants from Kremenets produced a “Kremenets Memorial Album” at Seminar haKibbutzim in Tel Aviv, Israel. We have photographed each page and translated it into English. The pages were written, mostly around 1966, by surviving members of some of the families who were murdered by the Nazis and their Ukrainian collaborators in Kremenets, Ukraine in 1942. A few entries memorialize emigrants from Kremenets who subsequently died in Israel and in the Diaspora. The translated album contains a personal name index with 736 entries. The original album is now located at Yad Vashem.
