Index for Trustees Minutes Years 1920–1955

This index covers three separate Record Books and Minutes of Central Synagogue Trustees for the following groups of years: 1920–1933, 1929–1953, and 1954–1955. Each grouping is identified by the year range in bold numbers followed by the page numbers. Some of these years overlap from one set of minutes to another due to the collation of the source material, and it is possible that the same information appears in more than one set of documents. For example, entries covering the years 1954 and 1955 appeared in the 1929–1953 collation and also in the separate collation for 1954–1955. Thus both locations for the material is provided here. Some page numbers include (back) to indicate that the page number is used twice, once for the information on the front page and once for the information on the back side of that page. When researching a personal name, it is important to be aware that names were entered as they appear in the material; this means that the same person could appear in multiple ways such as: Bangser, Adolph; or Bangser, Mr. & Mrs. Adolph; or Bangser, Mrs. Adolph. Likewise the same person could be intended by an initial or a full personal name like Schlesinger, M. A. vs. Schlesinger, Max A. For some surnames the only information is either Mr., Mrs., Miss, Dr., etc. Also variant spellings are possible for the same name like Weisl [Weisel]; some are indicated in the index but in other cases if the user does not find the name on the first attempt, further perusal may discover the name by scanning for other possible spellings like Schwartz vs. Schwarz. Alphabetization ignores titles like Mr., Mrs., Cantor, Rabbi, etc.
