Indexing of names in the Yizkor Book

The Kutno Yizkor Book is now totally indexed.

The index has 7254 occurrences of names. It does not include the list of martyrs or the necrology, at the end of the book; these lists can be queried separately. It includes names from page 1 to 493.

The query page, in English, is there. Other languages are also available.
A later version will allow direct access to an article from a selected record in the results page.

The file will be donated to JewishGen, but it will lack the comment field, which reveals some of the context of the occurrence. This is especially nice for those of us who speak neither Hebrew nor Yiddish.
