Census
1661
This is the list of Jewish residents from Slutsk, Slutsk district extracted from 1661 inventory.
Slutsk at the time was not only center of district but also part of the Slutsk princedom ruled by Radziwill family. There are two sections Old Town and New Town. These early censuses usually only listed heads of the household. However, as far as I know this is the earliest census of Slutsk where Jews were recorded.
Important historical information for researchers.
- In this early period, Jewish residents were concentrated in historical Slutsk, known as Old Town.
- There is a court document from the early 18th century shows one of the early Radziwill princes allowed Jews to settle Jewish Street (Ulica Zydowska).
- Later censuses have this street included as well.
- Now we have reference from this census to Zwierzowska Street "where Jews live". Later on the same street is called "Ulica Zydowska", in quotes. Clearly this nickname of the street already existed by 1661.
- Thanks to this census we can identify the original name of the Jewish Street in Slutsk.
