Please note that collections held by the National Archives of Ilfov are highly fragmented due to the fact that they were evacuated from inter-war Romanian territory coming under Soviet control at the end of World War II. The material was held by disparate branches of the national archives around the country until the post-communist period.
This collection is somewhat of an exception as it is larger than most (24 items), though this most likely represents only a portion of the original collection. The folders are arranged chronologically and titled with the names of the litigants; the location (presumably of dispute) and object of the dispute are also listed in the inventory. Please note that access to these files is likely highly restricted. There are several Jewish names involved in the disputes, such as Mozes Schmul, Roza Presner, Isidor Retter, Ana Rebacovschi and plenty of names less easily identifiable as Jewish. Objects of dispute range from property to paternity to "money". Locations include villages throughout the administrative district of Boian (Bojan in German). Please note that time did not permit the surveying archivists to examine the contents of individual folders and thus no specific details can be given as to Jewish-related material, but in light of the significant Jewish population in the region and the relatively unknown nature of these holdings, almost all material originating in Bukovina is included in the present catalogue.
Please note that, at the time of the survey, inventory numbers were not in use at the Ilfov archives. The inventories of collections from northern Bukovina were arranged by (interwar) county in folders. Numbers were pasted onto the cover, but archival staff did not treat these as inventory numbers, nor were they used to locate the inventories. These numbers are, however, provided here, in case protocol changes in the future.
- Archival history:
- This material was most likely evacuated from Cernăuți during or shortly after World War II. It appears to have been initially processed and maintained by the Iași branch of the National Archives. It was then re-processed in the post-communist period by the Ilfov branch of the National Archives in the course of measures to centralise documents from territories that are no longer part of Romania.
