IGRA keeps adding new databases and updating others partially released before, adding over 54,000 new listings, many of them with images. With a variety of subjects, from immigration to military, from the Ottoman period to the Israel times after the British mandate, the following preview will give you a good idea about our latest additions. We invite you to find your family records in our search engine. https://genealogy.org.il/AID/
Recipients Flour for Mazot Jerusalem – Sephardim for the years 1891, 1904, 1915, 1929 (images available)
These lists are found in the publication HaMoreh LeTzdaka Ma’aravim at the National Library of Israel. This is an allotment for buying flour for Passover known as Kimcha D’Pischa. The head of the household receiving the allotment is named and how many members of the family there are. These lists are important because these people may not be found in any other document because of their low economic status.. In this release 3,242 people are named. The heads of households may appear in more than one list.
