Mandatory Palestine Naturalization Applications, 1937-1947

206,731件のデータ

This collection is a unique and rich compilation of records documenting the efforts of individuals, mostly Jews, and sometimes their entire families, to establish citizenship in Mandatory Palestine, which was under British administration at the time. The collection contains photos, histories, passports, and other various forms providing details for each applicant. The naturalization applications were officiated by the British Immigration Department. Owing to this, the primary language of the application is English. However, many of the forms within each application are also filled in Hebrew. There are also some number of forms from the immigrant’s previous country which may contain languages such as German, Italian, Polish, etc. MyHeritage has taken an effort to transcribe both the English and the Hebrew names in every record, separately. The 60,000+ naturalization applications, housed at the Israel State Archives (ISA), are generally made up of immigrant and tourist registrations, visas, photographs, passports, and letters of citizenship. They are organized by the head of the family, usually the father. When other family members, such as wife and children, are travelling with the head, details about them are provided as well. Each application was also signed by two in-country witnesses on behalf of the applicant. As stated by the ISA, the naturalization application collection is incomplete because the Immigration Department offices were subject to attacks, during which time many records were destroyed. Many of the records may have also been taken or destroyed during the final days of the British Mandate in Palestine.
