==Jewish Synagogue Records== | |||
Records kept by officials of the synagogue varied from place to place. In the United States and some other countries these records often included:<br> | |||
*Minute books of congregational, board, and other meetings. | |||
*Account books containing lists of members. | |||
*Congregational and communal histories. | |||
*Vital records including birth, circumcision, bar and bat mitzvah (coming of age ceremony for boys and girls), marriage, and death records. | |||
Not all synagogues have these types of records. Many have been lost or destroyed or never existed. Those that did survive may be with the synagogue or may have been deposited in a Jewish archive or historical society. | |||
The term ''Synagogue Records ''is not a library catalog subject heading. Synagogue records that are part of the Family History Library are cataloged under the subject Jewish Records. | |||
