Czernowitzers... Archival.name is a free Jewish genealogy website created and launched by Luke Rothman in October 2026:
https://archival.name On my first search, I found records for my relative Alter Hausthor, a bookbinder in Radautz in the years-just imagine!-1890-1894! Amazing! Happy Hunting! Luke Rothman from Washington, DC, the creator of this NEW search engine states as follows: "I've built a free website, archival.name, with many records that aren't indexed or searchable anywhere else. It has 3.3 million records from registers, censuses, house lists and name lists, and 1.5 million listings from printed Galician directories (1883–1942). There's also a Vienna section with 13 million entries from Lehmann's address books (1915–1942), for up to 2.4 million people. That section also has the 1915 directory of nearly 20,000 refugee households from Galicia and Bukowina. 93% of the Vienna entries are linked to the current address on Google Maps. Most other records are linked to their town, or will be soon. The "Places" tab has a gazetteer of the 13,795 places of Galicia and Bukowina in the 1900 census, nearly all mapped, and the Galician gazetteers of 1869–1941. A list of records (over a million of the vital records have never been indexed anywhere else): Lwów births 1900–1924 (49,000), marriages 1872–1939 (30,000), deaths 1864–1942 (95,000), linked to each other where they match Soviet civil records of Lwów/Lviv and its oblast, 1940–41 and 1944–46 (305,000) Lwów conversions, the community's registration cards and voters' lists 1937–43, and the files of the Palestine Office, Hechaluc, the emigration office and the Jewish schools (170,000) Stanisławów conscript registers 1919–39, Tarnopol community records, and the repatriation lists of 1944–46 (225,000) Kraków, Podgórze and Klasno births, marriages and deaths, with the yearly indexes (186,000) Kraków censuses 1857–1921 (655,000), and Podgórze, Rzeszów and Nowy Sącz censuses (238,000) Registers of other Galician towns, some going back to the mid 1800s (860,000) Congress Poland registers 1915–1942 (211,000), and community papers and lists (176,000) Kraków and Lwów house lists of the 1850s–1890s (50,000) Nearly every result links to the exact page of the original scan, at AGAD, the Kraków and Rzeszów archives, DALO, USHMM, Yad Vashem, the Vienna City Library and others. Any result can be opened to show the transcription of the whole page. Anyone can search. To see full results, sign in with Apple or Google; this keeps bots from copying the data. Your email is never shared, and I won't write to you."
