Ashkenazi Amsterdam in the Eighteenth Century
This tentative list of the Ashkenazi Jewish inhabitants of Amsterdam in
the eighteenth century was prepared by Moshe Mossel in Jerusalem and
includes presumed family relationships. It shows about two-thirds of the
total community and is still being compiled.
The information is based on rabbinical documents of engagements,
marriages, and other such events in the Jewish community from 1723 to
1812; Jewish Marriage in Amsterdam (records of civil marriages of the
Amsterdam Jews), compiled by Dave Verdooner and Harmen Snel; a list of
those buried in the Muiderberg cemetery, compiled by Harmen Snel and
Jits van Straten; a list of those buried in the Zeeburg cemetery,
compiled by Jits van Straten; the list of family names that were
officially registered in 1811; and List of Alimentated Jews in 1809,
published by Moshe Mossel.
All information on individuals is filed exactly as found and therefore
it is considered highly reliable; however, not all of the relationships
have been verified.
