Talk:Kfar Uria

1922 + 1945 census

I cannot find it in the 1922 census, the other Jewish localities in the Sub-District of Jerusalem are easy to identify. It looks as if it was not an "official" place in 1922.

Nor can I find it in the 1945 census, and it even lists a tiny village like Khirbat Ism Allah (with 20 people, see p. 57). Cheers, Huldra (talk) 19:23, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

depopulation

To editor Eliyahu S: I don't remember making that edit, but maybe I was going on the fact that there were 10 inhabitants recorded in the 1931 census. Looking again at the census table, I see that the inhabitants then were Muslim (6 male and 4 female). I added that information and won't remove the depopulated status.

Thanks. Glad we could sort that out. Cheers. -- Eliyahu S ^Talk 11:34, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

@Eliyahu S: Huldra reported above that she couldn't find it in the 1922 census and the article gives no page number. Probably that's because she was looking in the Jerusalem Sub-District, but actually it was just over the border in the Ramle Sub-District. It is there as "Kfar Uria" on page 22 with 40 Jews. But on the previous page "Kafruria" is listed with 9 Muslim inhabitants. Presumably that's the nearby place mentioned in our article. I'm thinking that the "Kefar Urya" in the 1931 census, with its 10 Muslims in 2 houses, may be the same as Kafruria. "Kefar Urya" is also in the 1938 village statistics with 11 non-Jews, but land ownership is Jewish. In the 1945 village statistics (p29 in original), the estimated population is 20 Jews.

@Zero0000 I agree, your assumptions seem correct, and that paints a much clearer factual picture. Good work! -- Eliyahu S ^Talk 12:04, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
