Sibiu Jewish community: register of deaths; 1864-1885, 1940
This death register lists name, profession, age or birthdate, and birthplaces of deceased, as well as date and place of death, and date and place of burial. A handful of papers, including additional death certificates and requests for certificates, corrections and amendments, are interleaved, including one item from 1940. Although most of the register entries are in German, some of the later entries are in Hungarian, and there are a couple of Romanian items interleaved. An unusually high percentage of the deaths in 1881-1882 are recorded at the Sibiu insane asylum (Irrenanstalt).

Sibiu Jewish community: register of births; 1854-1885, 1895-1929, 1938-1944
This birth register is arranged in approximate chronological order. Each entry lists the name of the child, date of birth, name of parents (usually with the maiden name of the mother), address of parents, date of circumcision or naming, name of mohel and of witnesses or godparents. Occasionally a Hebrew name is also listed for the child. Although the majority of entries are for Sibiu, births are also in isolated cases recorded for other localities, such as: Alțâna, Sebeș, Nocrich, Mediaș, Cisnădie, Chirpăr. Several additional items are inserted into the register, including requests for amendments to the register. Notably, a substantial number of notifications about the conversions of individuals from Judaism to various Christian denominations during the late 1930s are also interleaved. It is also notable that most of the individuals listed on these conversion notifications were born in the early 20th century, therefore after the period during which this birth register was kept. Along with these conversion notifications is also interleaved a handwritten register of births since 1895, which provides the name of the child and the name of the parents in Hebrew, occasionally with additional information in Hebrew. Although this specific register is undated, handwritten date annotations seem to indicate it was created sometime after 1929.
Alțâna Jewish community: register of births and marriages (Agnita area); 1860-1885
This is a birth register arranged in approximate chronological order with two pages of a marriage register appended to the final pages of the volume. The book has bilingual German-Hungarian printed tables, although the entries are generally written in German. Additional notes in Hungarian and Romanian are added to the register. Although the largest number of entries appear to be for residents of Alțâna (Alzen), there are entries for several smaller villages and localities in the region. In general, most of these smaller villages are located close to what is now the main road between Sibiu and Sighișoara, with the highest concentration between Hosman and Apold. Each entry lists the name of the child, date of birth, name and address of parents, name of midwife, date of naming or circumcision, and name of mohel (circumciser) and of witnesses or godparents. For marriages, name, profession, and birthdate of bride and groom are listed, along with the names and addresses of their parents, the date and location of the wedding, names of witnesses and of the officiating rabbi.
