"If we go back far enough, we're all related".

         

Welcome to my Jewish Genealogy web site. This web site started out as a 'place holder' for the many links that I had reviewed and felt were worthwhile to re-visit in the future as I was developing my own family tree. Later, when I decided that these links and bits of information would benefit other genealogists , I made the decision to share this information and the thousands of links (and more to come) with all who want to research their own Jewish roots.  My site isn't perfect, but it sure beats having to search a lot of records at the Library or all over the net.  And it's free!

Apparently it has been useful --- as well over 208,000 visitors have viewed Jewish Web Index since its inception. Thanks! I'm pleased to provide this site for your benefit. Although keeping up this web site is time consuming, it has become my passion. Unfortunately, I'll never be able to completely finish as all of the work load rests on my shoulders.  I welcome any help I can get.

When entering my web site, you will find that each LINK provides you with easy, one-click accessibility by Country and/or by specific Subject -(all in alphabetical order) -- to the thousands of web sites that I have visited over the past eight-plus years. Any address included in my web site has been verified that it offers some Jewish genealogical information.  Please note that some links will not work due mostly to the site being moved by the owner to a different address after I have posted there address to my site. When you come across a "dead link", I would appreciate if you would let me know via e-mail.

Some links are very important - others are portals to other links or offer detailed information to help you in your research. 

Genealogy is all about sharing information, particularly in those geographical areas where there was considerable movement among a few closely-situated population centers. By tracing our pasts, we may understand our present a bit more thoroughly.

Most importantly, it represent an entrée to the wonderful world of discovering your ancestral history. I hope that I have made it easier for you in your searching out the family.

            But remember to use the internet as one tool ...
                                       but not the only one!

Although the amount of data on the internet relating to one's research is constantly growing, not everything is yet on-line and probably won't be
for many years to come. The lesson to be learned here is "be patient."

With your computer --- some research --- and the Internet, you can be a time-traveler --- discovering your own past --- seeing how your characteristics came down to you, and finding what you want to pass on to your children --- and theirs.

If you are anxious to start ... go ahead ... click on any button to your left -- or at the bottom -- of all pages. Some pages have additional links to other pages on my web site i.e. Lithuania offers a link to Lithuanian Shtetls etc.

 And please don't forget to bookmark my site and also share my site with your friends and relatives.  I suggest you visit weekly as I am constantly adding to every page as more information is gleaned from the Internet and other resources.

Should you want to know more about me and about where, what, how and when of genealogy, click here and you will. Or just select a SUBJECT or a COUNTRY from the list available at the left or bottom of this or any page. Good luck in your family search --- and Shalom!

Why are there ads ?

I would like to say that I am wealthy, but I'm not, so in order to pay the expenses related to developing and providing this web site, I needed to create a method to help defray my out-of-pocket costs. I never liked the
idea of soliciting, so the best alternative, I found, is to allow selected other sites to advertise their products or services with the only stipulation being that they offer some value to researching one's Jewish roots. 

If you buy a book (use my link to Amazon.com to find one of interest by clicking here > Jewish Genealogy)
or a picture, or use a service that you will find posted throughout my pages, then my site is credited and I receive nominal financial compensation. Not a lot, but it all helps pay the costs of maintaining and hosting my effort. Won't you please buy a book today? Maybe a service or software tomorrow!

Like everyone else, we're feeling the pinch of the continuing global economic crises.  If you can help by making a contribution of a few dollars or more either via this web site or by sending a check, cash or money order, I would really appreciate it.  Mailing address is 39312 Mirage Circle, Palm Desert, CA 92211.  And thanks!
