This collection contains the population record books of Czech Jewish communities between 1784 and 1949. The core of the collection is records of births (denoted with the letter N), marriages (O), and deaths (Z). Some miscellaneous records mark divorces and other life events. The "Place" column contains the seat of the register district—if the exact place you're looking for isn't listed, try searching for larger towns nearby.

Those researching the Holocaust may be particularly interested in inv. č. 2119–2135: births, marriages, and (overwhelmingly) deaths in Terezín, Theresienstadt, between 1941 and 1945.

The materials in this collection were processed by Lenka Matušíková at the Czech National Archives in 1999.

This collection contains population registers of Bohemian Jewish communities, which were kept by law by Roman Catholic parish authorities. The same records from Moravia have not survived. Organization is similar to NAD 167 above: records are organized by register district and categorized by whether they contain births (N), marriages (O), and/or deaths (Z).

Between 1726 and 1848, the population of Jews in the Czech lands was strictly controlled through the Familiants Law. The law prevented Jews from marrying unless they held a "family number." These numbers were passed down from father to eldest son, and could only be passed to a younger son if his older brother died. The aim was to prevent the Czech Jewish population from expanding.

These registers record the names of the Familianten, along with some births. Organization is sadly lacking compared to the other collections on this site.

Note: An older version of this collection included switched/merged records for eight books because of an uncaught error in the data. Old permalinks should redirect to their equivalents in the new collection, but please get in touch if anything doesn't seem right.
