This register records marriages for Jews living in the villages surrounding Mociu (Hung: Mócs); there are a few entries for Jews living in Mociu itself. Probably the book was either kept in Mociu or stored there in later years and thus is catalogued as being from that village. The headings are in German and Hungarian and the entries are in Hungarian; a few entries are supplemented with their Hebrew names. The book was begun in 1885 and concluded in 1888, but the last page has a few entries created after the fact, the oldest one is from 1850.

This register records births, marriages, and deaths for the Jewish community of the Cluj. The register is a compilation of at least nine originally separate books - three each for births, marriages, and deaths. It seems they were bound together in 1890.

This register records births, marriages, and deaths for the Jews of several communities near the town of Dej, including Ocna Dejului (Hung: Déésakna); Câțcău (Hung: Kackó); Maia (Hung: Mánya); Mănăstirea (Hung: Szentbenedek); Reteag (Hung: Retteg) and other villages near the above settlements. The book is arranged by locality and it seems likely that the contents originally formed five separate books and the pages were combined into one book at a later point in time. Each section begins with births, then moves to marriages and then deaths. The headings are in German and Hungarian and the pages are specific to the needs of a Jewish community (spaces for circumcision information, includes Hebrew letters for dates). The handwritten entries are generally in a mix of Hungarian and German; the German, though written with Latin characters, has noticeable Yiddish traits.

This register records births, marriages, and deaths for the Jewish community of the village of Aghireșu, or Egeres in Hungarian, the name it was known by at the time of recording. The births section is a log of families rather than a chronological birth register. All the children born to one family are listed together; the families are numbered. The earliest birth recorded is 1833. The entries were probably made in the 1850s or 1860s as a result of new regulations on the keeping of civil records. In addition to the birth date, place, and gender of the baby, parental information, midwife name, and data on the naming ceremony or bris is provided. Families are from many villages in the area. There are also several different sets of birth entries, perhaps representing sporadic updates to the log. Please note there are a few documents from the interwar period attached to records verifying or contesting legal names. There is one page of marriages entered; no year is provided for the marriages (1870s?) and much of the information is left blank. There is also one page of deaths recorded, taking place in the late 1860s-1880s. The only information recorded is the name of the deceased and place and date of death. Sometimes cause is also noted.
This collection comprises civil registers recording births, marriages, and deaths. Originally the registers were kept by each respective parish, church, synagogue, etc. In the 1950s they were collected by the National Archives and made into this overarching collection. The collection is organized alphabetically by location, then by religious community. All Jewish registers held at the Cluj archives are described in detail below; please click on a title for more information.

This register contains entries for births, deaths, and marriages recorded in a variety of manners. It seems that the book is a compilation of several documents which were at one time separately maintained. The first nine pages contain birth records, sometimes organized by family, sometimes chronologically, with several pages blank or with only one entry; many entries lack complete data. The earliest birth recorded is 1849 though this and other births from the 1850s and 1860s were almost definitely recorded several decades later. The last birth recorded is from 1895. There is one page of deaths listing five entries from 1871-1894; the entries generally lack complete data. Then follows a page of wedding records, but written across a birth-records rubrik. These weddings took place in 1892. Then follows two pages of text in Hungarian recording divorce proceedings held before a rabbinical court. Such records of community life and relations are extremely rare. Finally there is one sheet, recorded front and back, of marriages dating 1868-1895. The book is in Hungarian with German and Hungarian printed titles. Most events took place in Ocna Mureș (Marosujvár/Maros Ujvár) or nearby villages.
