This project seeks to gather information on the families of the Jewish community of Korycin, Poland.
The vital records do not seem to survive, so the main options to document these families are the following:
- Pages of Testimony (258 records as of 10/3/2018) [Some may be from other places]
- Auchwitz Death Books (16)
- Mauthausen camp personal card file (1)
- Yad Vashem List of Persecuted Persons from List of death certificates of residents who perished during the war issued by courts in the Bialystok and Sokółka districts (2)
- Family Trees
