Much has been written about the subject of genealogy and much more is "waiting to happen". This web page contains books, newspapers, films, magazines and library information pertaining to the history of Jewish genealogy. I have tried to make all of the information available, though you may have to write directly to the publisher, or visit a loan library to read the actual book or periodical. You can also click on any of the noted web sites which will help you determine the availability and lowest pricing structure for specific books. Some of these books are sold through affiliate programs and a commission for the sale is paid to the webmaster which helps maintain this site. | |||
If you are looking for a rare or out-of-print book, try any of the sources listed below for assistance. Often, asking your local library may be helpful. It is possible that either a main or University library, or some other source can supply a book on loan, rather than having to buy a book, file or microfilm. Check also with the Family History Center Library and your local Jewish Genealogy Society's libraries. Some have very extensive holdings. Where you see 'Buy From Amazon.com' you can just click on that phrase and you will be instantly taken to a site where you will find more information about the book and the author, as well as the cost and estimated delivery schedule. | |||
