Title:

[District around] Cluj (Hung: Kolozsvár), Israelites: births 1887-1888; 1900; 1920-1922 (Orthodox)

Description:

This register records births for in Jewish families in villages around Cluj; Apahida and Borșa (Hung: Kolozsborsa) appear frequently. It is not entirely clear where the book was stored, though it eventually ended up with the Cluj Orthodox community. The headings and entries are in Hungarian and often the Hebrew name and date is included. In general the entries were not comprehensively completed: they frequently only give name; date; gender; parent names and marital status; birth place; whereas normally such a book includes midwife name; circumcision or naming ceremony details and name of witnesses or godparents. Sometimes this information is included and sometimes not. Please note that at the time of the present survey (2016), births dating later than 1914 were not legally accessible.
