Salonika — nearly 72,000 records online

Balkans and Ottoman Empire Group - REGIE database

They are online.

Today, the Cercle de Généalogie Juive gives you back 71,785 records of Salonikans.

Confiscated in 1941, shipped to Frankfurt, scattered from Moscow to New York, rescued from destruction time and again, some of the registers of the Jewish Community of Salonika survived everything but oblivion. And oblivion is the one thing they will never know: after transliteration of the solitreo, the Sephardic cursive script that so few people can still read, your Circle publishes all the transliteration work of Mr. Izo Abram.

Births, marriages, deaths, families (1917-1941), and the precious 1905 census of immigrants, the register that survived the great fire: these unique archives — the written memory of the community that made Salonika the "Mother of Israel" — are joining the REGIE database.

Every record recovered is a victory.  Every name becomes a family again.  Yours may be among them.
