Description

These are documents from the Baghdadi Jewish community comprised of marriage, divorce, birth, and death certificates and confirmations of Jewish lineage; certificates cover the 1910s-1920s. In the Jewish marriage certificates, “Miss” is added before the woman’s name if it is her first marriage; “Divorcee” is added before the woman’s name if she is divorced. There are also lists of members of the Jewish Lay Council, 1936-1940, and financial ledgers listing original purchase price, original owners, and sale price. There is also a complaint letter from a Muslim tenant asking for compensation, and a letter from a Muslim land owner offering to lease land to the Jewish community for building a hospital.
