This project assembles information about the history, people, geography, economy and cultural heritage of Yurevichi as it existed before World War II. It is a work-in-progress.

The project's first phase is the collection of primary Sources of Information and family histories. This will be used to write the town's history. The second phase will identify people who lived in this town using sources such as Pages of Testimony and Ellis Island manifest records.

An open-source wiki is being used to create these pages. Anyone can make additions or changes to these pages. Don't worry about deleting or breaking anything on this website; historical pages can be easily restored.

You don't need to seek permission to make changes to these pages; just click the “edit this page” pencil icon located on the right-column of every page. Jon Jaroker monitors all changes and you won't hear from him unless he has comments or questions about your edits and you are registered.
