Registry of the Jewish Community of Mosul, 1834 Transcribed and translated by Omar Mohammed As part of ALIPH Grant to fulfill the requirements of the project “The Jewish Heritage of Mosul” The document is a registry created by the Ottoman government in the year 1834, detailing the Jewish population in Mosul. This registry is focused explicitly on recording the names and ages of male members of Jewish families. Such registries were part of the Ottoman Empire's administrative practices, which included keeping detailed records of various ethnic and religious communities within its territories. Translation and Transcription: The translation aims to preserve the accuracy of the data, including the names and ages of individuals and familial relationships. The Arabic translation uses terms such as "ابن" (son of) and "شقيق" (brother) to denote family relations, which are key to understanding the household compositions and lineages within the community. Registry Structure: Each entry in the registry typically includes the name of the head of the family, followed by the names and ages of other family members. These entries are meticulously listed under specific folios and sometimes further classified, such as 'Disabled' or 'Migrant', reflecting their social or physical status. Importance and Use: This document serves as a critical historical artifact, offering insights into the demographics and social structures of the Jewish community in Mosul during the Ottoman period. For historians and researchers, such registries are invaluable for studies on population, social organization, and the effects of Ottoman policies on minority communities. Additionally, the registry aids in understanding patterns of naming, family ties, and the impact of migration and disability on the community.
