Târgu Mureș, district of Mureșul de Sus - Jewish: deaths, 1889-1895
Description:
This register is kept entirely in Hungarian. The book presumably served as a record book for registering rural community deaths 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 Mureșul de Sus (Marosi Felső) refers to a district in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the north of the town of Târgu Mureș. Information recorded is: Name and birthplace of the deceased, date of death, occupation (generally not completed), gender, marriage status, age, place of burial, illness and manner of death.

Provenance:
These registers were maintained by the respective Jewish community and/or local municipality and collected in the 1950s by the National Archives. There are no details provided for the individual registers; presumably the rural registers were collected and stored by the Jewish community of Târgu Mureș sometime around the turn of the century and then these were subsequently transferred in mass to the National Archives. This would explain why they are catalogued under Târgu Mureș rather than the name of the respective village or town.
