JewishGen

Excellent resources for Jewish Genealogy, including "how to" guides, research aides, cemetery information and databases of American and European Jews. Other databases are the Family Finder and Shtetl Seeker, for which I have listed separate links on my home page. An archive of the JewishGen discussion group is another useful resource.

JewishGen Communities Database and Shtetl Seeker

Two unique and powerful tools to help identify towns by name and location.  Communities have been known by different names, as identified in various languages and phonetic translations.  These different identities have stumped researchers.  Here are two searching tools to solve these mysteries, and to locate communities.

A searchable database of Jewish surnames and the communities they came from. Powerful search features yield family names linked to community names and provide contact information for genealogists researching them. If you are researching Jewish genealogy, you should use this registry - the results can be amazing!
