The Montefiore Endowment commissioned the Israel Genealogical Society to transliterate the censuses into modern Hebrew and English scripts and to translate them. They are now being published on-line in stages by the Endowment with a search engine in Hebrew and English. So far, years 1839, 1840, 1849, 1855 and 1866 have been completed and work continues on 1875/6. The Montefiore Endowment
