Bessarabia

The Law of Russian Empire of 1818 obliged Bessarabian Jews to be registered in one of several estates – Merchants, Middle Class (Petty Bourgeois, Tradesmen, Townsmen) or Farmers (Land-workers, Peasants).  Similar Laws were enforced by Russia in Belarus, Ukraine, Novo Russia and other regions, at the end of the 18th century, beginning of the 19th century. What did these estates mean to Jews?  What privileges did these estates grant?  How could Jews change their estates, if at all?  The other categories of Jews were: Honorary Citizens (hereditary, private), Nobility, Colonists, Foreigners, and Military personal, State-Owned Settlers, Burlak – Temporary worker. Information was taken from Vital & Revision Lists records of Bessarabia, Bessarabian Annual Book-Calendar, the Governor Office, 1862-1914, etc.
