14. IAJGS Program Award 2014:
Montefiore Census Digitization
In recognition of the exemplary work of
Mathilde Tagger, Billie Stein, and Rose Feldman
as well as the numerous volunteers from the
Israel Genealogical Society and the Israel
Genealogy Research Association who created
the database, transcribed and translated all five
19th century censuses which documents the
Jewish population of Eretz Yisrael between
1839 and 1875. This project enables the
availability of Sir Moses Montefiore’s records to
all genealogy researchers with roots in
Eretz Israel during the Ottoman Empire.
15. Coming Soon…
With your help IGRA now has over 300,000
records from more than 180 databases!
We are getting ready to release in the coming
months more than 40 additional databases AND
