The Irish Jewish Genealogical Society & Family History Centre - a division of the Irish Jewish Museum, headed by Stuart Rosenblatt P.C. FGSI.
Over the previous 2 years, eleven works on Irish Jewish residents were printed from information on 36,000 name listings. The information is in many instances in family tree format. This covers 70 fields of information.
Over the last 10 years the main areas of details requested from family members are, birth dates with location, marriage date with location and maiden name of spouse. Also listed are the parents and occupations as well as death dates and location. In the main Jewish centres, Belfast, Dublin and Cork, the burial plot is listed making easier access when visiting the grounds. Belfast has two burial grounds, Dublin three burial grounds and Cork has one. Also listed are Hebrew names. The most important discovery is the Alien registration records of 1914-1922 when non-national (non-British subjects) had to register with the police. These records, as with the published volumes, may be viewed in the Irish Jewish Museum and the National Archives, National Library, and at Martello Tower in Seapoint, Dublin. An exciting find was the Ada Shillman birth register of the 1800 births she delivered, also available in the Museum and National Archives, etc. The 1901 and 1911 census covering the 32 counties, where it was discovered Jewish people lived, are also available to any one making enquiries. Currently 10,000 school enrolment records await your discovery. |
