Title:
Alțâna Jewish community: register of births and marriages (Agnita area); 1860-1885
Alternative Title:
Isr. Matrickel-Buch Alzen
Description:
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.
