Jewish Chronicle ( London newspaper) Project : personal announcements 1900-1909

Produced by Miriam Pollak in November 2004, this database of personal notices from the London newspaper the Jewish Chronicle, for the period 1900 to 1909, has approximately 31,500 entries from around the world.

Personal announcements included births, bar mitzvahs, engagements, marriages, deaths, in memoriams, silver, golden and diamond weddings and tombstone settings.
