What are the Jewish registers?

The Jewish registers were started on the basis of the Edict of 1813 and continued until 1861; but only in the Rezat division were the lists compiled to form a division register for a whole government division. The lists, orderly compiled by places of residence, arranged in orderly columns and continually numbered, offer an exact survey of the Jewish population of a local or baronial district with legal positions in the registers. The former (circumcision) name is followed by the new civil family name, the place and date of birth, marital status (in some cases including number of people in a family) and current occupation. Therefore, the registers do not only offer a deep insight into the social and economical situation of the Jewish part of the population, but also provide a fundamental intersection for research of their genealogical roots.
 

This CD-ROM is useful for all people, which have jewish ancestors in the period 1813 to 1861 in the region Middle Franconia in the northern part of bavaria.
