Abstract:
- An online database of names that appeared in announcements published in the German-language New York newspaper "Aufbau", which primarily catered to German-speaking Jewish emigres in the United States. Entries are searchable by last name, first name, maiden name and German place of origin.
- "The goal of the Aufbau Indexing Project is to index all the announcements of birth, engagement, marriage, death and other special occasions that appeared in the pages of Aufbau between 1934 and 2004. This project will allow individuals researching their German-Jewish ancestry to easily locate announcements relevant to their research. [...] To date the AIP has indexed more than 27,000 announcements, mostly from the time period 1975-2002. These records are now available as a searchable database on this site. However, a great amount of work remains. In the peak years, 1940 - 1960, there were two to three pages of announcements in each issue. This translates to more than 150,000 announcements over the course of Aufbau's 65+ years."--Welcome page at http://www.calzareth.com/aufbau/ (Accessed: 10 May 2006).
Language and Other Notes:
- Note Well: "The Aufbau Indexing Project" should not be mistaken for "The Aufbau Database: Names of over 33,000 Holocaust survivors, published in the German-language newspaper Aufbau in New York, 1944-1946" database found on the JewishGen website at http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Holocaust/Aufbau.htm. The names in the JewishGen website database appeared in published name registers of Holocaust survivors and victims published 1944 to 1946 that appear not to have been (yet?) included in "The Aufbau Indexing Project," which appears to be limited to classified advertisements such as birth, marriage, obituary and other like announcements.
- As of March 2010 full image scans of "Aufbau" 1934-1950 (Jahrgang 1-16) were available online through the "Exilpresse Digital" project of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (In German) at http://deposit.d-nb.de/online/exil/exil.htm, but it appears that these scans are no longer available on legal grounds.
