Ostrowiec Lineages at Geni

The links below are usually to the oldest known resident of Ostrowiec in a lineage. These will be people who were born, lived in, or died there. Visiting the linked profile will typically lead to relatives, at least some of whom also were residents. Usually only one exemplar from each lineage is presented below.

(to be build >) Surnames will be drawn from various online sources given above, including the Ostrowiec kehilalinks page and the JewishGen Family Finder database searched for "Ostrowiec" in Poland. However, this is almost certainly not a complete list of surnames for all Jewish residents of the town.

In some cases there is a Geni project specifically dedicated to a surname in Ostrowiec or the vicinity, in which case a link to that project is given. This section is under active development, but we hope to eventually have many of these known Ostrowiec surnames linked to trees here at Geni.
