Jewish Voters in Krakow: 1911 & 1929

The 1911 Voters List contains the names of males (mainly Jews) eligible to vote for the Polish general elections in the constituency of Krakow, District VIII, Kazimierz in the year 1911. Based on other available data, we may assume that these individuals had to be aged at least 25 in order to vote, and were thus all born prior to 1886. The following fields have been extracted:

First name:
Last name:
Occupation:*
Street & Street number:

*Paid-up Shoreshim Members Only

It is suggested that the viewer use this data in conjunction with the entries in the 1907 and 1929 Krakow Business Directories, as well as the 1929 Krakow Voters List (all of which can be found in Shoreshim databases).

The 1929 Voters List contains the names of male Jews eligible to vote for the Polish general elections in the constituency of Krakow, District VIII, Kazimierz. Of genealogic importance, it contains the ages of almost 7,000 individuals. The original document was typed using an old-fashioned typewriter with a heavily-inked ribbon. The result is that many letters - such as 'a', 'e', and 'o', or '3' and '8' - are completely inked through, making it impossible to differentiate one letter from the other. As a result, the information, especially that of the ages, may not be accurate. Because of this, assumptions have been made as to the correct spelling of many first names and surnames. These assumptions are probably correct. In addition, many assumptions have also been made as to ages. These assumptions need corroborating data. Occupation names remain in the original Polish, and have not been translated into English. Again, the spellings are open to question. Lastly, note that those surnames beginning with the letter 'A', 'N', 'O', and 'P' are missing on the original document.

It is suggested that the viewer corroborate this data by examining the 1907 or 1929 Krakow Business directory (both available on the Shoreshim site). The data available to members of Shoreshim includes the following:

Last name:
Age:
