Foreign Jews in Kiev after 1812

Foreigners Name Index Census 1816

This small list of foreign Jews who lived in Kiev, Kiev district in the early 19th century.

There are two groups recorded here, forein guests (which probably means merchants) and foreign prisoners of war, who were likely part of Napoleon's war with Russia. I have no further information about these individuals.
