The Warsaw USC archive also holds the following vital records, based on Polish State Archives information. Note that these records are not generally available to the public for research.

1905-40B; 1906-40M; 1893-1940D

Some Horodenka vital records held by the Ukrainian State Archives in Lviv have been microfilmed and are available for research at any Family History Center. Ask for film 2405315. The records on this microfilm consist of 1851-1867B and a census of Jewish families taken during 1922-1929. (The latter was reported to be vital records for those years, but examination of the records reveals them to be a type of census for Jews (“Pana prowadzacego metryki izraelickie”, is how some of the forms begin). The 1922 and later records actually consist of hand-written lists of family members and their birth dates, and were mailed, in some cases, by Jews from Horodenka who were living in many other different places in Europe. Other submissions were written on various scraps of paper, including the backs of old records. Click on the thumbnails below to see examples of the records in film 2405315.

There are additional records held in Lviv, plus more recent records from the 1930s and on held in the Ivano-Frankivsk archive. See the Routes to Roots Foundation web site to search their database of records.

The Family History Library also has microfilmed records of Roman Catholic, Armenian Apostolic, and Greek Catholic Church records from the late 1700s until, in some cases, the 1920s, and some Austrian Army records for personnel stationed in Horodenka in the late 1700s. It is possible that some of the very early Greek Catholic Church records may contain some Jewish records; this practice was known to occur in some towns (in 1999 Mark Heckman searched the Roman Catholic Church records -- the only records available at the time -- and found no Jewish records there). See the familysearch.org catalog web site to find the film numbers for these records.
