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.

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

This collection contains Jewish community population registers that were kept by Roman Catholic parish authorities. Most of the surviving records are from Bohemia. 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.

This collection contains correspondence books (titled "Berichtenbuch") and certificate books (titled "Bestätigungsbuch") from the Prague Jewish community. The correspondence books contain copies of documents such as letters and reports, and the certificate books mainly record real estate dealings within the community.

Also known as the Familien-Register, this is a giant index of record books kept by the Mikulov (Nikolsburg) Jewish community. Many of the original books have been lost.
