Hi Leonid, I can’t imagine this is a coincidence, but I actually just reached out to Edgar last night asking the exact same question about the 1942 files, as I stumbled on them (actually, it was the household number on the Certificat I shared that clued me in to their existence) last weekend. I am working on compiling it; I have about 30% of it done, I am cautiously optimistic I’ll have the index done by this weekend or early next week.
I don’t suppose you’re related to Leiser Kupferschmidt? Sime, Schneidel, or Salo Kamil? Elais or Lotti Dermer? I’ve indexed those ones and if any are your family I can send the unique url for their households. The USHMM files also have a lot of other supplemental data, unfortunately very disorganized, that I intend to try to match to the corresponding families, too, using the permit/household numbers and family names… but that might take longer… Could you please link me to the familyseach census books you mentioned? I was unaware of them and would like to see them; I may not get to it until the 1942 work is done, but might be able to do something with them, too.
