Courtesy of the Miriam Weiner Archival Collection, with assistance
from the Library of Congress, I recently added 75 Ukrainian telephone
directories from 1970 to 1994 to the full-text search engine at
genealogyindexer.org, including three for places formerly in Bukovina:
1992 Storozhynets Telephone Directory (formerly Storojinet)
19?? Toporivtsi Telephone Directory (Apartments) (formerly Toporauti)
1986 Vyzhnytsia District Telephone Directory (formerly Vijnita)
These directories were collected by renowned genealogist Miriam Weiner
over her decades-long pioneering career in Jewish genealogy, donated
to the Library of Congress in 2016, scanned meticulously by the
Library of Congress for preservation and presentation on their
website, and, finally, OCR'd by me and added to the search engine.
The Library of Congress' European Division also obtained the necessary
permissions to share this important material online. Thanks to Miriam
Weiner, the Library of Congress, and the Ukrainian Embassy for making
this possible.
Although these two directories are written in Ukrainian and Russian,
you do not need to know any Ukrainian or Russian to search. If your
search term consists of a single word (e.g., a surname), the search
results will automatically include Ukrainian and Russian
transliterations by default. You can also enter search terms in
Ukrainian or Russian, which can be helpful if you use advanced search
syntax.
Searches will include these and all 4,000+ other sources by default.
To restrict your search to only these three directories, append
{d3247, d3251, d3272} to your search term. Or, to search everything
but show results from these directories near the top, instead change
the Regular Sort option below the search box to New Matches First.
For the full announcement concerning all 75 directories, see
