What this book is
- A business directory, not a census. The publisher, Samuel L. Ippen, a bookseller in Wiżnitz, says in his afterword what it contains: imperial and private officials, the clergy, notaries, lawyers, doctors, teachers, the credit societies and their boards, and those engaged in trade and crafts. Families, workers, servants and most farmers are not in it. Not being in the book proves nothing.
- Who is in it. In the villages, the priest and the teacher, then the shopkeepers, innkeepers, millers and sawmill owners; in the market towns, the whole administration and an alphabetical list of traders and craftsmen. Many of the traders were Jewish.
- Spelling is the book's. Names are printed in the German spelling of the time: Srul, Jankel, Mendel; place names as the Austrian post office wrote them (Waszkoutz a/Cz. is Waschkoutz on the Czeremosz, a/S. is on the Sereth). “Sounds like” search finds other spellings.
- Occupations are as printed, in German: Greislerei (grocery), Krämerei (small shop), Schnittwarenhandlung (cloth trade), Gemischtwarenhandlung (general store), Schankwirth (innkeeper), Fleischhauer (butcher), Brettsäge (sawmill), Mahlmühle (flour mill).
How it was read
- From the scans of the copy in the Austrian National Library, published by Austrian Literature Online (ALO, University of Innsbruck). The book is set in Fraktur (Gothic type), and no text of it existed anywhere: it was transcribed line by line, every page read in full, and lines with uncertain letters were read again.
- Marks. [?] follows an uncertain reading; [A?/B?] gives two possible readings (both are searchable); […] is an unreadable letter or word. [sic] marks a misprint in the book itself.
- Every line links to its page. The page number is the book's own; the link opens that page in the ALO viewer, with a link to the full image on the entry's place page.
- Found a mistake? Use “Report an error” on the place page.
Search tips
- Sounds like (the default) finds spellings that sound the same by the Daitch–Mokotoff system and keeps only close spellings as results: Katz finds Kac, Kaz, Caț. Other surnames with the same code are listed separately below the results.
- Exact spelling finds only that spelling; Starts with finds every surname that begins with the letters you typed.
- * and ? in a surname: * stands for any letters, ? for one letter. Kat*, *berg, Gr?nberg.
- Accents and alphabets don’t matter: ş = s, ţ = tz, ä = a, ł = l. Records written in Cyrillic are found by their Latin spelling.
- Given name matches the beginning of any given name of the person: Mor finds Moritz, Mordko and Moric.
- Other surnames: a married woman is also found by her maiden name (née, născută, geb.), and anyone by a second surname written with recte, vel, zis or false.
- Town (under “More fields”): any of the town’s names in any language. Collections from one city match only that city.
- Parent, spouse or other: a surname of another person in the same record (a register entry, a family declaration or letter, a family on a list). Use it to find a child by the mother’s maiden name, or a couple.
- A dash (—) in the list of collections means that collection has no such field, so the search was not run there; 0 means it was searched and nothing was found.
- Private: people born in 1926 or later are shown by surname only. Why.
