1620 Minsk area census

Minsk Name Index Census 1620

This is the list of Jewish residents from the area around Minsk, Minsk district extracted from 1620 inventory.

The original language of these inventoies was Polish. I have tried to transcribe the names and places as best as I could. Oftentimes I could not translate notes usually related to dues from the villages with certainty. One interesting case is the word free ("free") which appears a lot. Based on specific context this can indicate one of the following: a. Someone free from paying a tax, in some cases new renter had no dues for the current year. b. Sometimes Jewish renters in this text are called free, in the context of them not being tied to the place, free to move and not subjects of food-based taxes the peasants were obligated to pay.

Geography: The 1620 inventory certainly does not cover an entire Minsk district, however it includes large areas to the west, east and south of Minsk. District was sub-divided into sub-districts, called Wlosc in Polish, which became known as Volost under Russian Empire. Each wlosc was named after the town or large village which served as its administrative center.

Population: Working with this inventories made me realize how small the Jewish population of this area really was in the 17th century. In most cases few Jewish names are listed as renters in towns and sometimes villages. This was to be changed in the coming decades. Still based on this records, Jewish population in this area at the time was not only small but almost non-existent.
Israel Aronowicz Jew is mentioned 8 times in Koidanov, Jozef Israelowicz Jew is mentioned directly 8 times in Rubezhevichi and likely indirectly as Jew 3 more times. Luckily their patronymics were found in notes. In Bereza, Wiazyn volost there was a Jew named Rubin though there were four other places also held by unnamed Jew, possibly the same person. Rubin Aronowicz of Smolevichi is mentioned five times, another five times, Jews mentioned in the area without name and twice as Israel "Wolmiensky". It is hard to imagine such a few individuals being able to control multiple places. Some of them were likely tax collectors who derived income from various crafts, inns, mills while paying fixed fees to the landlords. However, perhaps they used community funds to rent multiple places where individual Jewish families lived and worked. If so, this could be how Jewish communities began in this area. In either case they were small in nmber. Unless other information to be found, I don't see how the total Jewish population of this area at this time could be more than few hundred people.
