Hi everybody,

As you would know, we've undertaken a very big acquisition and translation project of Vital Record Indexes on the Odessa Archives from 1875 to 1920. Yoni Kupchik is leading the project.

These are more than 7000 documents to acquire and translate.

We need your help. Any donation even small will be welcomed. Please visit the Ukraine JewishGen-erosity Page and choose the Odessa Document Acquisition and Translation Projects.

If you have Russian translation skills and you want to volunteer please fill our Ukraine SIG Language Skills Survey here and contact Yoni

Thanks for your help,

Ariel Parkansky

Hi everybody,

You can directly access it here

There are also some new images on the Postcards gallery and a new link I'd like to recommend you.
It's an article where Larissa Oshmyany, an Odessite who graduated from the Odessa Theatre and Art College, revisits the past and present of Odessa through images. The article is published here in russian or you can read the english translation by google directly from the links page.

As always, the translation of records on the Odessa Database project continues its normal way.
