An index compiled by Mathilde Tagger

10. • According to article #1 of the Passarowitz Peace Treaty signed between Charles VI,
the Austrian Emperor and the Ottoman Sultan Ahmed Khan in 1718, free sojourn was
granted to the respective subjects of the two countries. This is how Turkish Jews
began to enjoy unrestricted movement in Austria. This regulation was again
confirmed in the Peace Treaty of Belgrade in 1739. Moses Lopez Pereira, also know
as Baron Diego Pereira D'Aguilar, (Portugal 1699 - London, August 10 1759), held
the tobacco monopoly in Austria from 1725 till 1747. Baron of the Holy Roman
Empire, d?Aguilar enjoyed the greatest freedom of belief, and was the founder of the
Spanish or Turko-Jewish community in Vienna. He succeeded in obtaining many
concessions for the relief of his oppressed fellow worshippers. The community was
called ?Turkish? because most of its members were indeed from Turkey. Its origins
have to be placed in the years 1740-1750, when the Sephardim asked for a
synagogue. The earliest Sephardic Jews living in Vienna had the following surnames:
Camondo, Nissim, Eskenasy, Amar, De Mayo, Benveniste etc.

11. • The Family History Library (FHL) has recently added more microfilms to their
Vienna collection of Jewish records. Among them is a microfilm entitled
Turkische Israelitengemeinde ? The Turkish Jewish Community. In Vienna
the Sephardim were referred to as the "Turkish Jews". The original records
are still with the Jewish community of Vienna.
The FHL microfilm contains the birth and marriage records of the Turkish
Vienna community for the years 1845-1938. These registers have been
completely indexed in this database. They include nearly 10,000 individuals:
the newborns, their parents (including the maiden name of the mothers), the
midwives, the mohalim and sometimes the readable signature of a witness,
and in the marriage register: the grooms, the brides and their both parents.

JEWISH GENEALOGY COLLECTION HAS MORE THAN
1 MILLION ENTRIES
Does your family have Jewish heritage? If so, you may want to check out
The Knowles Collection. It has more than one million entries now, and is
accessible through FamilySearch.
As you may know, FamilySearch is a genealogy website that can be
used for free.
FamilySearch is a nonprofit family history organization that is the largest
genealogy organization in the world. The primary benefactor of
FamilySearch is Th
e Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The FamilySearch website
can be used by anyone at all – including people who don’t happen to be
Mormon. All are welcome!

34. • The founder of The Knowles Collection is Todd Knowles, who is
a Jewish genealogy specialist at the Family History Library in
Salt Lake City, Utah. The collection started from his desire to
know more about his Jewish ancestors. He started by searching
for information about his great-great-grandfather, a man
named Morris David Rosenbaum, who was a Polish Jew. The
genealogy of Morris David Rosenbaum became the backbone of
the Knowles Collection at FamilySearch.

35. The Knowles Collection currently has over
one million entries. New records are added
continually. FamilySearch says the
collection grows by about 10,000 names
per month. Those names come from over
80 countries. In addition, corrections are
made as needed, and new links are added.
The databases from The Knowles
Collection has something unique
happening. The people in the database are
linked as families and the collection can be
searched by name. In other words, a
researcher can gain access to records of
entire families. That’s different from how
other databases or collections at
FamilySearch are used.
