Brașov Jewish Community: register of marriages, 1874-1879
Alternative Title:
Israelitische Cultus Gemeinde Kronstadt: Trauungsprotokoll
Description:
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).
The civil register books were normally maintained by the respective parish authorities of each town or village. At some point in time in the post-World War II period these records were collected by the National Archives.
