Applications to Change Religious Status

Shoreshim has obtained a list of almost 2,500 names of Polish Jews from a register in Krakow. This register was probably compiled sometime during the years 1941 or 1942, although some of the records reflect applications from the pre-1940 era. The data comprises 2 parts...

Part I: This is mainly genealogic data and includes:

Last name and first name
Names of parents: This often includes the mother's maiden name. Where the father's surname is omitted, it is assumed that it is the same as the prime individual's surname.
Date of birth: Usually the actual date, sometimes the age in years.
Place of birth: Usually Krakow and surrounding towns, but many other Polish towns also found.
