Krakow Birth and Death Records
Some of the birth and death records in this database can be found in other internet sites:
- Shtetlinks/Krakow is a general site about Krakow's Jewish institutions.
- Dan's Krakow Site utilizes a very sophisticated search engine. Furthermore, the records often contain info (eg., inferred surnames) which is not available elsewhere.
- JRI-Poland has a simpler search engine, and the records contain very limited info.
Most of the records on Shoreshim are unique to this site and are not on the abovementioned websites.
