Some Romanian cities in areas formerly under Hungarian rule maintained registers of their residents and those moved into these cities. These are called population registers (''actele poliţiei''). These records existed as early as 1848 and were discontinued with the beginning of Hungarian civil registration in 1895. Special lists of those in certain trades (such as domestic servants) were also kept. These records group families together and can be used to prove relationships. | Some Romanian cities in areas formerly under Hungarian rule maintained registers of their residents and those moved into these cities.

<u>Jews</u> - In 1912 there were an estimated 240,000 Jews in the area of the Kingdom of Romania. First arriving from Poland and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 1800s, in the late 1800s Jews constituted a majority in the ten northernmost towns of Moldavia, especially Iaşi (Jassy). Bucharest also had a significant number of Jews.
