 ==Introduction==
-Administratively, Bulgaria is divided into twenty eight districts. Each district has an archive where civil registration records are preserved. For civil registration records, see the "[[Bulgaria Civil Registration|Civil Registration]]" section.
+Most of the archival material of the Sofia Jewish community was burned by the community itself before Jews were deported from the capital during World War II. However, death registers that cover a period of at least 100 years (the first registration date unknown) are held in the synagogue and in the Jewish Plot Office of the Municipal Cemetery. <ref>Sack, Sallyann Amdur and Gary Mokotoff.
