1 NAMES OF KREMENETS RABBIS, MOHELS, & OFFICIALS From the Kremenets Vital Records & Other Documents Proofed and Edited Dr. Ronald D. Doctor, Co-Coordinator, Kremenets Shtetl CO-OP 12 August 2009 This list contains names of Rabbis, Mohels, and Jewish community officials from the following vital records of Kremenets. Births: 1870 & 1871, 1893 & 1894 Deaths: 1870 through 1872 As a convenience to researchers, we also have integrated surnames that occur in the two Kremenets Yizkor Books, the series of Booklets published by the Kremenets Association of Emigrants, and the Pochayev Yizkor Book. And, we have added names extracted from the Jewish Encyclopedia article about Kremenets ( The table is alphabetized according to the Hebrew surname. Transliteration is based on the guidelines developed by the Kremenets Shtetl CO-OP. Where the guidelines are ambiguous, we have relied on Beider s book, A Dictionary of Ashkenazic Given Names for guidance. To resolve any remaining ambiguity in the Hebrew transliteration, we have used the Russian pronounciation as a guide to the English spelling. How to read Source and Location Information: As noted above, the List derives from two types of sources: Vital Records and Yizkor Books. Surnames are in alphabetic order using the Hebrew transliteration. Vital Records For Vital Records, the second column gives you the LDS Microfilm Number, tells you what type of record this is (B=Birth, M=Marriage, V=Divorce, D=Death), and in what year the event occurred. Example: 60B1870 means that the microfilm number is , the record is a birth record, and the birth occurred in The third column identifies the file number from the corresponding cd-rom data disk. It also tells you whether the event involves a male, female or both (F=female, M=Male, x=both, as in a marriage), as well as the sequential event number. Example: 351 F43 in combination with 60B1870 means that this record is the 43rd female birth in The record is in file 351 on LDS disk (microfilm) Each record on the microfilms is uniquely identified in this way.

2 Yizkor Books For Yizkor Books, the second column identifies the Yizkor Book by name of the Editor (Stein, Lerner, or Gelernt), or by Booklet number. The Organization of Kremenets Emigrants produced a series of Booklets beginning in 1967 with Booklet 1 and ending in 1982 with Booklet 18. Over the course of those 16 years, the title of the Booklet and the list of editors changed. We refer to these Booklets by number in the list below. A typical bibliographic citation, Goldenberg, is given below. A complete bibliography of the 18 Booklets is available in the translation of Pinkas Kremenets on the JewishGen website and on the Kremenets Shtetlinks website ( Stein, Abraham Samuel. (ed.) (1954).
