Meldezettel (männliche und weibliche Personen), 1850-1928

Noter

POPULATION REGISTERS for individual residents of the city of Vienna, Austria. The cards include name, birth date and place, marital status, old and new places of residence, dates of arrival and departure. Occasionally the name of spouse and children are listed. Most records range from 1890 to 1925. The beginning name on each microfilm is shown. The same name may also appear on the preceeding microfilm. All male (männliche) names are filed first, followed by all female (weibliche) names in a separate sequence.

PHONETIC FILING ORDER OF NAMES: An unusually complex system was used for filing surnames. This system files letters of the alphabet in a different sequence than usual. The following instructions are recommended to help locate the surname you are seeking in these files. Here are described the values of the letters of the alphabet, and their unusual filing orders. THE ALPHABET: (A), (Au), (E, Ä, Ö), (Ei, Eu, Ej, Ey, Ai, Aj, Ay), (I, Ie, J, Ü, Y), (O, Ou), (U), (B, P), (C, G, K, Q, X, Ch, Ck, Cs, Cz, Ks), (D, T, Th), (F, V, W), (H), (L), (M), (N, Nck, Ng, Nk), (R), (S, Sch, Sz, Cz, Tsch, Tz, Z). Note that all vowels are filed before the consonants, rather than in their normal alphabetic sequence. Letters or combinations of letters within the same parenthesis are used interchangeably and thus not regarded as different in filing. Each of the letters or combination of letters occupy one space in the filing sequence. Names beginning with vowels are filed by the first vowel sound, and then by the next vowel sound if present, and then by the first consonant sound. They are then filed by the second consonant sound grouped in order first by the vowels preceding the second consonant. Names with no vowels preceding the second consonant are filed following those that have vowels between the first and second consonants. This pattern continues until the end of the word, filing by each consonant, first running through all the vowels preceding that consonant. Names beginning with consonants are filed together with their sound-alike group. After the first consonant sound, names are filed by the second consonant sound grouped in order first by all of the vowels preceding the second consonant. Names with no vowel preceding the second consonant are filed following those that have vowels between the consonants. This pattern continues for the entire name.

INSTRUCTIONS: -- 1. First convert the spelling of the surname you want to find by writing it according to the phonetic letters outlined. -- 2. Then substitute the first letter of the phonetic group for the other letters in the same group. -- 3. Then find the surname in the library catalog list according to the special filing rules outlined, and note the film number associated with it. -- 4. Check to make sure you have the right selection by converting the catalog listed surnames to their phonetic spellings also.
