This book records deaths that took place in the town of Timișoara from 1886 to 1934. Please note that though this book is catalogued as the "citadel" (cetate) community book, many of the deceased lived in other neighborhoods, especially Josefstadt/Josefvaros (today Iosefin). Please also note the book was used regularly only until about 1910 after which entries are sporadic, often not in chronologic order, and frequently only a few deaths for any given year are recorded (or none at all). Entries record the name, birth place, occupation (sometimes), gender, residence, and marital status of the deceased; date, place, and cause of death; immediate surviving relatives; and place and date of burial. Not all entries are complete. The book is printed and recorded in Hungarian. Occasionally Hebrew names or date of death are also provided.
These registers were maintained by the respective Jewish community and/or local municipality and collected in the 1950s by the National Archives.
