This item has two registers bound together. They were presumably both maintained by the Valea Lungă Jewish community (Hung: Hosszúaszó; German: Langenthal). The first register records marriages taking place in the region. Please note it is miscatalogued as from the Blaj community, but the contents make clear the book was maintained in Valea Lungă. It was probably taken to Blaj sometime in the first half of the 20th century or possibly as late as World War II. The book, both titles and entries, is in Hungarian. The weddings recorded took place in Valea Lungă and other neighboring villages such as Jidvei (Zsidve), Tătârlaua (Tatárlaka), Biia (Magyarbénye), Sânmiclăuş (Betlenszentmiklós), Pănade (Panád), Valea Sasului (Szászvölgy), Sâncel (Szancsal), Micăsasa (Mikeszásza) and others. Generally the bride was from the respective village and the groom from elsewhere, though frequently both parties were from the vicinity. The entries are generally complete and include name and birth information for the bride and groom; parent names and occupation; age; where announcement of engagement took place; place and date of the ceremony; and names of witnesses and officiant. The second register appears to be a fragment from a log of requests, presumably made to the Jewish community record keeper, for certificates of civil records. It is in Hungarian and the entries date 1896-1899.

This register was maintained by the Valea Lungă Jewish community (Hung: Hosszúaszó; German: Langenthal) and records marriages taking place in the region. Please note it is miscatalogued as from the Blaj community, but the contents, including the official stamp, make clear the book was maintained in Valea Lungă. It was probably taken to Blaj sometime in the first half of the 20th century or possibly as late as World War II. The book, both titles and entries, is in German. Most of the weddings recorded took place in Valea Lungă but other neighboring villages are also mentioned such as Jidvei (Zsidve), Tătârlaua (Tatárlaka), Biia (Magyarbénye), Sânmiclăuş (Betlenszentmiklós), Pănade (Panád), Valea Sasului (Szászvölgy), Sâncel (Szancsal), Micăsasa (Mikeszásza) and others. Generally the bride was from Valea Lungă and the groom from elsewhere, though frequently both parties were from the vicinity.

This item has two different registers. The first is a register of requests made, presumably to the Jewish community record keeper, for certificates of civil records. It dates from 1904. The second register was maintained by the Valea Lungă Jewish community (Hung: Hosszúaszó; German: Langenthal) and records births in the region. Please note it is miscatalogued as from the Blaj community, but the contents make clear the book was maintained in Valea Lungă. It was probably taken to Blaj sometime in the first half of the 20th century or possibly as late as World War II. The book, both titles and entries, is in Hungarian.

This folder contains several separate items in random order. The following description is given in chronological order, but items are not chronological in the folder. There are several handwritten sheets recording, in German, births, marriages, and deaths in the Jewish community of Alba Iulia in 1875. There are also two loose, handwritten leaves of paper stating there was one marriage and no deaths in 1885 in Alvincz. Then, there are printed logs of births, marriages, and deaths in 1886 with handwritten entries. For each event (birth, marriage or death), there are two set of logs, one for the town of Alba Iulia, one for the region around Alba Iulia. These are in Hungarian. Due to the range of recording methods, the biographical information in the forms is inconsistent. In general though, birth dates and place, parent information, and details of the respective event are recorded.

This item records marriages in Alba Iulia from 1886-1938. The book is in Hungarian. The entries are generally not completed comprehensively, various information particularly pertaining to the parents of the bride and groom is often missing. Name and birth information for the bride and groom; parent names and occupation; age; where announcement of engagement took place; place and date of the ceremony; and names of witnesses and officiant are supposed to have been recorded.

This item records marriages in the area surrounding Alba Iulia; please note it is catalogued as being from Alba Iulia. The register was, probably, maintained in Alba Iulia. This may also explain why it seems somewhat haphazardly kept, note that many of the villages represented have their own records books (see other entries for the Jewish civil records in the county of Alba Iulia). The book is in Hungarian. The entries are completed fairly well, with name and birth information for the bride and groom; parent names and occupation; age; where announcement of engagement took place; place and date of the ceremony; and names of witnesses and officiant recorded.

This register recorded marriages in the Jewish community of Alba Iulia. The book is German. The entries are generally not comprehensively completed and only include name of bride and groom; age; place of residence; place and date of marriage and officiant. Information on parents; occupation; and other customarily recorded data is generally left blank.

The origins of this register are not entirely clear. It appears to be a compilation of multiple register books, both from Alba Iulia and the surrounding area. The title page states that it is a copy of the registers of births in Alba Iulia and the surrounding area from 1850 to 1895; this statement is in Romanian and is signed and dated 1941. The following entries, however, made in German (with Hungarian in the "remarks" column, generally regarding marriage, name change or death), do not appear to date from 1941, rather earlier, possibly at the time of the event. The initial entries are chronological and generally not comprehensive - they generally include only date of birth, name of child and parents and, in the case of boys, date of circumcision. Beginning in the mid/late 1870s, the entries become more comprehensive and include midwife names, date of name giving (for girls), and names of witnesses. The vast majority of these births take place in Alba Iulia, though there are isolated cases of births in many of the surrounding villages and towns. This section concludes with an official signature by the rabbi in 1886. Following this (sheet 87) begins a "Nachtrag" section, birth entries made after the fact. It appears this is now a record of birth information for all community members who were not in the previous section. Many of these births did not take place in Alba Iulia, they are no longer chronological and sometimes by family. The earliest birth noted in 1836. Following this, chronological births begin again, for the year 1886. Note that the first page has a Hungarian overlay of the titles (which are printed in German) but it has been affixed to the wrong page (presumably by archivists at a later point in time) and the column headings do not correspond with the contents. The births now proceed chronologically; of interest is that the scribes added columns recording the birthplace of the mother and father and as such one can get an impression of regional movement trends. Many of the fathers came from other established communities such as Targu Mures, Lviv, Ploiesti, Arad, Bistrita, Aiud, Fagaras, Cluj and so forth. Next, comes once more entries for births taking place much earlier, the earliest being 1841. After several pages of this, another new section begins, this time arranged by village. The entries are in a mixture of German and Hungarian. Apparently in 1885, the Jewish residents of each village were recorded here by family. Villages included are (in order of entry): Vințul de Jos (Alvinc) with Borberek; Nagy Igen with some neighboring villages; Galtin, Coslarin, Cricau, Stimbru, Oiesda (Galto, Koslard, Krakko, Szt Imre, Vajasd) (this section has births recorded from 1804 on and includes births in Alba Iulia and other towns, probably individuals were members of the respective village at the time of recording); Oarda de Jos (includes notes on marriages and deaths as well). Following this is yet another section - a handwritten copy of item XXX Matrikel Kis Enyed, also in the Alba Iulia national archives. This records families in villages in the Kis Enyed district. Please see the entry for that item for more details.

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 by locality and then religion. In addition to birth, marriage, and death records, some of the Christian registers record conversions, baptisms, confirmations, pastor or priest names, and other notes on the development of the community. The Romanian preface to a similar collection in the Mureș county archives notes that in 1784 the Jewish communities were made to record their civil records under the supervision of the Catholic priests. It is unclear whether this may indicate that 18th century Jewish records could be found within Catholic record books. In any case, there are no extant Jewish registers dating prior to the 1820s in the district of Alba in this collection, though births taking place as early as the early 1800s were recorded after the fact in some registers. All Jewish registers held at the Alba archives are described in detail below; please click on a title for more information.

This collection consists of one item: a book recording Jewish families residing in the two districts of Balázsfalva (Blaj, Blasendorf) and Magyar Bénye/Magyarbénye (Biia) in the second half of the 19th century. It is not clear how the book came to be catalogued under the title of Valea Lungă district, though one of the pages is stamped with the Israelite registration office of Valea Lungă. The stamp is, however, in Romanian, so from a much later point in time than when the contents was recorded. It is also not clear who recorded the contents or for whom the contents was intended. Each page records one family: the title of each page is the father's name and village of residence. Below this are listed the names of other family members and their relation; date of birth and, if applicable, marriage; place of birth; occupation and other comments (sometimes date of death). All contents is in German with the exception of some, but not all, place names which are recorded using their Hungarian designation. There is an index at the end by name and place of residence and one loose sheet from Valea Lungă attached dated 1904. There is otherwise no indication of when exactly the book was started or ended and by whom it was kept. The birth dates more or less span the entire 19th century, with the bulk of births occurring between the 1840s-1880s.

This register book served to record births, marriages, and deaths for the Fagaras Jewish community. The last pages in the book are arranged as a sort of family register, alphabetically according to last name, and include the head of the family, wife, children, and dates of respective births and deaths. The language is entirely German except for a few comments made subsequently in Hungarian (by authorities, presumably). The book was created by Rabbi Lebl Silverman in 1820, was continued by "district rabbi" Dr. Josef Cohne from 1864-1874, and thereafter by Abraham Schul until 1881. Information recorded is typical for other civil records books and includes names, parent names, birth dates and places, addresses, officiants, etc.

This register records marriage from the Neologue Jewish community of Brasov. At the time of survey (2014), only records dating to 1937 were accessible to the public due to Romanian archival regulations. Entries are fairly complete until 1896, after which just the names and residence of bride and groom are entered plus date and place of the wedding. Prior to 1896 entries contained data as typical for earlier record books including data regarding the parents of the couple, birthplace, occupation, witnesses, official, etc. Until about 1920, all entries are recorded in Hungarian, after which they are in Romanian with parent names recorded in Hebrew below the name of the bride and grooom. Around this time entries again become more complete.

This register appears to be from the Orthodox Jewish community of Brasov. The entries were not comprehensively made, only some of the information is completed. All contents except the first page is in Hungarian. For marriage records for the Neologue community, see marriage record book with code 1-161.

This register, which overlaps in time period with another from Brasov, records marriages within the Jewish Orthodox community in Brasov. At this time (1877) the Jews of Brasov split into two official communities, a reform-minded Neologue commmunity (apparently the majority, based on the number of marriages) and a conservative Orthodox community. There were also two synagogues, as the Orthodox community records marriages taking place within the Orthodox synagogue, whereas the other books record marriages taking place within the "Temple." Data recorded is typical: name, occupation, birth place of the groom, parent names, residence, age, marital status (single, widowed, divorced), the same for the bride, date and place of wedding, how often the engagement was announced, names of witnesses and official who performed the ceremony.

This register is mistakenly labeled with the dates 1874-1879, but entries in fact continue to 1887. Though the printed titles are in Hungarian and German, the entries are all made in German. Data provided is typical and includes name, occupation, birth place of the groom, his parents' names and residence, age, whether single, widowed, or divorced, the same data for the bride, date and location of the wedding, names of witnesses and rabbi or official who performed the ceremony. Also included is where the engagement was announced and how many times the announcement was made (three times was the law).

This register is entirely in German, the first entries were transferred from an earlier (no longer existent) register and do not contain all the details as the later entries. Otherwise, data generally includes the name, occupation, and birth place of the groom, his parents' names and residence, age, marital status, similar information regarding the bride, date and place of the wedding and names of the witnesses and official who performed the ceremony. Most of the marriages recorded in this book are between women from Brasov and men from elsewhere.

This is the collection of records of birth, marriage, and death, usually in the form of register books kept by religious and municipal officials. The collection is arranged alphabetically by the name of the locality, and then, if applicable, subdivided by religious denomination. In the case of larger municipalities, relevant records may have been kept by both the local the Jewish community and the municipality.

This register contains births, marriages, and deaths for the Bezidu Nou Jewish community from 1885-1894. The book is primarily recorded in Hungarian. Information recorded is standard for these registers: details on parents, birthdates and places, occupation, death circumstances and date, and information regarding the officiants at circumcisions, weddings, and burials. Please note that Bezidu Nou and several villages nearby were the center of the Szekely Sabbatarian movement and many or even most of the names in this book are presumably from Szekely Sabbatarian families.

This register contains birth, marriages, and deaths from the town of Târgu Mureș for both the Orthodox and the Status Quo communities for the years 1885-1895. Information recorded is standard for these registers: details on parents, birthdates and places, occupation, death circumstances and date, and information regarding the officiants at circumcisions, weddings, and burials. From the entries in this book it is clear that the Status Quo community was the much larger and more powerful community in the city at this time period.

This register contains marriages for the Status Quo Jewish community in Târgu Mureș and, partway through, a handful from villages in the surrounding countryside (1886-1889). Please note that until 2015, the book was miscatalogued as belonging to the Neologue community. The book is primarily recorded in Hungarian, though frequently the Hebrew names are also provided. Please also note that some marriages were recorded after the event, so that the first marriages recorded in fact date to 1869, not 1886 when the book was first opened. Information recorded is name and birth date and place for the bride and groom, parental information, place and date of the wedding and information regarding the witnesses and officiant. Many of the individuals in this book had their names Magyarized and this is also recorded in the "comments" column. The last entry in the book prior to the deportations is for April 1944. There is one wedding recorded after World War II, in 1947 Please note the book is catalogued as including dates only until 1946.

This register from the Unitarian church of the village of Bezidul Nou is included in the catalogue due to its connection to the Szekely Sabbatarian population of the village. The Sabbatarians began as a Judaizing movement in the 16th and 17th century. Following persecution by authorities, most adherents returned to one of the approved Christian religions. A handful, however, of the Sabbatarians continued to practice in secret over the centuries until Jewish emancipation in 1867, after which they converted in mass to Judaism. The Sabbatarian community was centered in the village of Bezidul Nou. For this reason, the register books of the Reform, Catholic, and Unitarian churches in Bezidul Nou may prove of interest to researchers. This Unitarian book in particular has been verified as containing references to Sabbatarians, especially during World War II. In spring and summer of 1944, there is a page of "baptisms" of older individuals, born in the 1860s-1880s. It is noted that they were "Mosaic Sabbatarians" or "Israelites." It is not clear who assisted these individuals to convert, the time of conversion is simultaneous with the period of ghettoization and deportation. In addition, in the death register there are multiple individuals regarding whom it is noted that they converted from Judaism (only in the 1940s).

This register contains records of births, marriages, and deaths for the Jewish community in Târgu Mureș and, after the schism, the Status Quo Jewish community, which was the largest community in the town. Please note that the book is currently (2015) miscatalogued as belonging to the Neologue community. The titles and entries of the book are all in German except for the entries from the 1870s. The book begins with a chart of community members and their families, including the birth dates and names of the children. The oldest birthdate recorded is from 1830. Following these pages is another list of members entitled "conscription" (census) for Marosvásárhely for 1855. Fifty-one heads of families are listed, with their wives and children. Following these pages, the official birth register begins, with the first entry dating 1851. The information recorded for births, marriages, and deaths is typical for these books and includes birthdate and place, parent names and background, place of residence, occupation, bride and groom birthdates and place, officiant name for circumcisions, weddings, and funerals, death date and place, circumstances or cause of death, place of burial, and so forth. Though most of the births do take place in Târgu Mureș, it seems that many or even most of the weddings take place in the surrounding countryside. Perhaps the register served as a regional register.

This register is kept entirely in Hungarian. The book presumably served as a record book for registering rural community weddings with the central community in Târgu Mureș. It is not clear, however, why some of these individuals were registered in this book rather than in the books maintained by other rural communities. The geographic indication Miercurea Nirajului (Nyárádszereda) refers here to a district in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the east and south of the town of Târgu Mureș. The majority of the entries in this book, however, are for weddings in the town of Sângeorgiu de Pădure. Information recorded is: Name and birthplace of the bride and groom, parents' names and place of residence, age and status (single, widowed, divorced) of bride and groom, date and place of the wedding, officiant's name. Please note that the dates in the official title (1889-1895) do not correspond with the contents. Though the contents were recorded during the period, the earliest wedding entered took place in 1882.
