In the fall of 2014 the Israel State Archives approached the Israel Genealogy Research Association [IGRA] with a request to build a database based upon Marriage & Divorce Certificates from their digitization project. IGRA has taken on this project from the Mandate Period. In the late spring of 2015 IGRA received over 50,000 certificates for the period 1922-1948. The types of certificates found in the first files IGRA started working for were: marriage certificates, divorce certificates, annulment of marriage, request for correction, and copies of certificates. It is not sure if all the certificates issued were deposited or if everyone registered in the ledgers of the Rabbinate, received or asked for a certificate. In November 2015 the first 4,220 certificates were uploaded to our website showing all of the information included and the scans are available as well. These certificates provide a unique opportunity to access records not previously available.
