Mediaș Jewish community: register of requests relating to community record books; 1889-1895
Description:
Register, apparently kept by the rabbi or community book keeper in Mediaș, recording various requests by members of the Mediaș Jewish community relevant to vital records. Each entry lists the date, the object of the request (typically formulated something like “David Smith came to the office to report the birth of a daughter”), the resolution of the request, and additional comments. Although most of the requests are relatively straightforward, typically involving reports of births, marriages, and deaths, or requests for the issuing of a certificate of birth, etc., some cases involve more complex matters.
