| Most
of us start
our research
with our
family
names.
The purpose of
this page is
to identify
documents
throughout
this site that
contain names
so that you
can find them
from one
page.
You will also
be able to
locate them in
the other
tabs, but this
page attempts
to bring them
together.
Begin your
search with
the Names
Index which
looks at the
different
spellings of
similar names
across family
histories,
tombstones,
photos, ads
and the Jewish
school. You
can then go to
those specific
sources for
more details.
If a
researcher
provided
information on
their family
names you will
also find a
link to that
information. |

Patronymics
1822-1823
This link will take you to
copies of documents from
1822/23 when Jews were
required to take surnames
instead of
patronymics. It
first lists the patronymic
and then the
surname. There are
actually two lists that
overlap, but there are
some slight differences
between them. An excel
file can be downloaded
which attempts to
reconcile the two lists
and which lists out the
names to the extent they
can be determined. It also
identifies those names
that show up in later
synagogue records. |

There is a
listing of residents of Radom

will identify if the names
listed in the 1813 patronymic
list above or the 1823
patronymic list are found in
it. If so, it will also
provide their family members.
There are about 840 people
listed in total. The record is
titled Jews Ask for a
Permit to Live in Radom
and it covers the period from
1821-1828. You can find the
scans in the Polish archives
at 1827
Radom Records.They
begin 13 scans in on scan

a transcription
of this document with a

assist in finding the
correct scan. Note: it is
not recommended that you
print this as it is quite
long.

partially obscured, but still
decipherable. By combining the
index from JRI-Poland with the

original records. If you find
notations of interest you can
contact JRI-Poland to obtain
the translation for a nominal
support donation. A document
has been developed that will
assist you in navigating this
process.

Includes
Photos
|
The Survivor and
Victim Database at the US
Holocaust Museum (USHM) has
the files of 841 Jewish
workers of the Bata Shoe
Company who were employed as
forced labor during WWII. The
files frequently have photos
and include descriptive
information such as birth
date, address and marital
status. You can now access
these records when you do a
search on JRI-Poland
which links to the USHM or
search the list
directly. Be sure to set the
search on the USHM to D-M
Soundex. You can request the
file via email and will
receive it immediately at no
charge. An advantage of
searching just on the surname
on JRI-Poland is that it will
surface records where it
represents a mother's maiden
name, not just the employee's
surname, and as a result may
tie to other family
members.The USHM will only
pull up the employee. The
scans are not yet available at
the Polish Archives, but you
can review the indexes
online in alphabetical
order and it may remind you of
additional family members to
explore.
