Hardy and all...
Thank you all for your very kind appreciation. As a matter of fact, the census sheets provide even more information than the civil records, i. e.:
- names (surnemes, forenames, titles [of nobility])
- relationship (degree of relationship to the occupant)
- sex
- dates of birth
- places of birth
- rights of residence (places of origin)
- religion
- civil status
- common language
- regular occupation (description, position)
- secondary occupation (description, position)
- houseowning, landowning
- literacy level (reading and writing, just reading, none)
- disabilities (blind, deaf-dumb, idiotic, cretin [!?])
- residence
- remarks
That's a wealth of thrilling data and so - as long as these data are not yet public - my advice to all, who are visiting the Regional Archives of Czernowitz, would be: DON'T RESTRAIN YOUR RESEARCH TO THE CIVIL RECORDS ONLY, BUT ASK EXPRESSLY FOR THE CENSUS PRIMARY DATA!
Warmest wishes as always!
