This book records births that took place in the town of Timișoara from 1887 to 1942, primarily, though not exclusively, in the Iosefin/Josefstadt/Józsefváros quarter. Entries record the names of the child and parents, often including mother's maiden name; the birth date and place; gender; whether the birth was legitimate; information on circumcisions; midwives; and names of witnesses (to the circumcision or name-giving) or godparents. Later entries in particular are often not fully completed. The book is printed and recorded in Hungarian. Addenda are in Romanian.
These registers were maintained by the respective Jewish community and/or local municipality and collected in the 1950s by the National Archives.
Access Rights:
At the time of the survey (2016) entries later than 1915 were inaccessible to researchers, unless proof of relation is provided.
