The Czestochowa-Radomsko Area Research Group was founded in 2003. Since then, its membership has grown tenfold and CRARG’s database of records has grown to well over 600,000, including Holocaust, tombstone, synagogue, birth, marriage, death, emigration, immigration, draft, taxation, craftsman, and 1790s census records.
CRARG in the News
CRARG was featured in an Associated Press article (PDF or jpg) that appeared around the world.
Among more than 350 separate projects, CRARG has taken photographs of every tombstone in the Jewish cemeteries of many of CRARG’s core towns, has translated all of information on every tombstone, and has made that information searchable by both given name and surname.

Welcome to the CRARG web site! Whether you are just beginning your search or you are a seasoned researcher, I hope you will find something very useful on our site, something that will bring your family tree to life: Perhaps “new” cousins, or the profession of your grandfather, or the street address of your great aunt’s family, or the tombstone of a loved one, or records of your family before they adopted a surname. Or perhaps all of these! Very likely, you will find tragic news too: family members who died in the Holocaust. I am the founder and president of CRARG. It is a nonpaid position, because we devote all of financial contributions to translating and typing archival document. I began making my family tree in 1997, with no idea of where in Poland my family was from. My family tree now includes nearly 3000 cousins, aunts, uncles, and direct ancestors, and it stretches back to 1735. I hope that you will have equal success with your family tree!
