Within weeks of the fabulous Jerusalem 2004 Conference last summer, the IGS planning committee decided to extend the indexing, translating or transliterating of various documents that are essential to genealogical research. With the increasing numbers of Israelis interested in genealogy, including formal school projects, it was decided that the materials from the time of the British Mandate would be the most appropriate beginning. All material is to be databased both in Hebrew and in English. The projects are divided into two parts: first entering the Hebrew documents into excel files and then a different volunteer will transliterate the Hebrew into English excel files. The 1915 census of Tel-Aviv, the 1922 census of Petah Tikva and lists from Ein Harod from1923 are nearing completion. We are about to begin the 1922 census of Tel-Aviv and the voters' lists of Jerusalem. The satisfaction of helping other researchers, of facilitating resources for future school projects, of knowing that the time you donate will serve others far into the future, is priceless. If you wish to be a part of these groundbreaking projects, please contact Rose Feldman.
