<x-flowed>I looked at these FHL parish register microfilms a few years ago. My
thinking at the time was that I might find pre-1850 records since the
existing Jewish records start about 1857 and in the 1840s in some
cases. Someone had suggested that until the Jewish community began
its own record-keeping, the records were kept by the Catholic church.
I looked at parish (non Jewish) registers for Radautz and some for
Czernowitz, too (I believe.) I found only 1 or 2 entries with Jewish
sounding names, but they could easily have just been German names of
non Jews. There were no "Rifkes" or "Perls" or "Itzigs" or "Berls"
in sight.
