Genealogist. Russian Empire, Subcarpathia Jewish genealogy. The records were (largely) not destroyed! Blogs at https://larasgenealogy.blogspot.com/
I’d say less. The number gets larger the closer to the revolution, but it was still a very small fraction of the total.

I’ve gotten more pages in response to this one woman than all the men whose files I’ve received combined.

Follow the instructions for what to do if someone isn’t in the database. No guarantees they’ll have anything, but it’s worth a try.

I send you images to record books (written in Hungarian or Czech—but if you can read cursive English, you can read these) and excel templates. You extract info like names, places and dates into spreadsheets. And then eventually I get that onto JewishGen for people to search.

Spending my day off today indexing more!! If anyone reading this wants to volunteer, I can get you started so we can help others searching for their families.
