Article-"The Urban Jewish Population in Eretz Israel from 1839-1948: Censuses and Voters’ Lists"- by Rose Feldman

Under the British Mandate of Palestine the Jewish population had its own ruling bodies that were responsible for their self-government. Three types of documents can be found for this period: censuses, voters' lists on the national level for Knesset Israel and voters' lists on the local level. This article includes a limited survey of these documents in places that are considered to be "urban settlements" today. This information is based on the collection in IGRA's "All Israel Databases" where most of these documents arealready searchable in either Hebrew or English on the IGRA website.

This article is available for free for approximately one month to all those registered on the website, after which time it can be accessed by IGRA paid members only.

Other Genealogy Resources
 

On a regular basis we add to our resource collection on our website. All of our resources are connected to genealogy, but not all are connected directly to genealogy in Israel. In the Resources Section you can find materials to help you with research in many regions of the world, including Israel.
