Mediaș Jewish community: register of marriages; 1859-1885
Description:
This register is arranged in approximate chronological order listing names of bride and groom, along with names and addresses of their parents, often including the mother's maiden name. In addition, date and location of the wedding (only a few weddings took place outside of Mediaș), as well as name of officiating rabbi and witnesses are provided. Some later notes in Romanian are inserted. The register is notably tailored to a Jewish context and provides columns for entries of dates in the Hebrew calendar.
