Important note: This register has been attached to the back of a register recording marriages for the Roman-Catholic church of Făget. There is no indication when or why this occured. Note that these are not a few select entries of Jewish marriages recorded within the Catholic register, rather the entire original Jewish register of 38 pages was attached to the end of a different, Catholic register. LBI archivists elected to record this item as a marriage register for the Israelite community of Făget, but please be aware that the call number used is one referring to the Catholic community. The register records marriages that took place within families in and around the town of Făget from 1878-1939. Entries were generally completed meticulously and record the names, age, and marital status (widow, etc) of the bride and groom; parent names and occupation/place of residence; where the wedding announcement took place; location and date of wedding; officiant and witness names. Some scribes recorded the Hebrew names of the bride and groom. There are also notes on conversions. The book is printed in German and Hungarian; the initial entries are in German and later ones in Hungarian. Presumably entries made after WWI begin to be in Romanian. Please note that at the time of the survey (2016) entries later than 1915 were inaccessible to researchers, unless proof of relation is provided.
These registers were maintained by the respective Jewish community and/or local municipality and collected in the 1950s by the National Archives.
