[Cz-L] Source of genealogical information

Dear Czernowitzers,

I just received information about an additional resource for
genealogical information:

The Central Zionist Archives in Israel has developed an online catalog
of their holdings. It is located at http://www.zionistarchives.org.il.
It includes reference to more than 220,000 files, 50,000 maps, 300,000
photographs and 3,000 posters. Images of 5,000 photographs and 100
scanned files from their collections are also available at the site.

There is a specific section for family history research located at
<http://www.zionistarchives.org.il/ZA/pIndexE.aspx?I=1070&Src=2>. Topics
covered in this section include:
   * General information on the genealogical service available at the CZA
   * Resources on legal immigration to Palestine/the State of Israel
   * Resources on illegal immigration to Palestine and Cyprus detainees
   * Database and files of the Jewish Agency's Relatives Search Bureau
   * Resources on Youth Aliyah
   * The 1939 Jerusalem Census
   * Resources on enlistment to the British Army in WWII
   * Personal papers held at the CZA and collections of genealogists at
the CZA
   * Books and newspapers sources

The archives themselves, amongst their holdings, include many issues of
a Czernowitz
weekly paper by the name of Yiddishe Arbeiter Zeitung published in
Yiddish in the
1920ies which contains both articles referring to Jewish inhabitants of
Czernowitz,
as well as advertisements by many Jewish owned businesses.

All the best and "shavua tov", Mimi
