click on the word "Search" above and use this Web Search Engine
There's an almost unbelievable amount of information on the Internet. The challenge is to locate what you need at any given time. To find what you need, you can use a variety of search engines. *Searching the web, unfortunately, is not a total art, but more like a hit and miss situation. Within the pages of my web site, you will find various 'search engines' that may be of value in your research. A list of search engines that I have tested are currently on the Genealogy web page. This page (under current development) in some cases, have been duplicated in other pages. My goal is ultimately to locate all search information to this one page. Another point - you can always go to the top of any page and under 'Edit' you can click on 'Find' - and search for a word (or even with just a portion of a word) links or information on my pages. E-Mail Addresses email search at MyFreeEmailSearch.com. It contains the world’s largest publicly available directory of email addresses, which can be used to locate old friends and classmates, find current information related to email, address, and phone, and access to profiles from over 20 social networking sites.
Internet AnyWho - Advanced People Search Argali White & Yellow Pages The most complete and reliable search for telephone and e-mail directories Remember to always bookmark those pages you find of interest, and save those pages to your hard drive for you never know if the page or web site will be available on the web tomorrow.
Don't forget that there is a lot of research material available in books and magazines. You can search my link to Amazon.com, for instance, and here you will find over 180 links to books dealing strictly with Jewish genealogy. I've made it easy for all you need do is click here > Jewish Genealogy You can also search my web site for all documents containing matching words or patterns. And, just in case you ever want to go back and look at my original web site, or for that matter, anyone else's site, try the 'WayBack Machine' web site Just enter your favorite URL (mine is always 411Web.com
If you need to match an area code with a city (or vice versa) or can't find a Zip code you can use this site and the site also includes a lot more i.e. Yellow Pages, White pages, etc. This site also provides find person, business, maps and reverse telephone searches. BananaSLUG
With normal searching, there are many web pages that you never have a chance to see. BananaSLUG adds a random word from a category of your choice. This results in pages you probably have overlooked. In this way, you get something new every time. British-Jewry List Archives http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search?aop Eurekster A personalized search engine. Google Tips "Use the word genealogy (yes, I know you do that) but in a different way to get better narrowed down results. Examples: (1) Goldberg Genealogy, (2) Russian Genealogy. Goldberg brought up any and all sites relating to Goldberg genealogy, and when I put in Russian Genealogy....wow! what a treasure trove. Even Jewish Gen is among the Russian sites as a link. No more unneeded sites, just genealogical. Some of the sites and/or links may bring you to a subscription site which offers a two-week free trial. Many of the sites do not require a subscription and are *free*". To avoid getting 19,600 hits you can narrow it down by first putting in: "There are so many things that Google can do to help genealogists. "Search by location" along with many other Google specialized searches are available on one page Among the many services offered
by Google are telephone listings. Just go to Google.com and
type your phone number in the search box, such as 555-555-5555. You
might get your address and a map to your location. But not everyone
wants this listing online. You can get a residential listing removed
from Google. Just enter your information in the form at: Directory - Kol-Israel

extremely valuable in my own research NedGen Ancestry Search Engine & Genealogy Web Directory Red Cross Search When anyone in the United States initiates a request for a search for relatives presumed lost in WW II, there is a strict international protocol that must be followed. 1. You submit your request (Form #1609) to your local Red Cross Holocaust tracing office. 2. They review it to ensure that all the mandated information has been filled out and sign off on it. 3. It is sent to the National WW II tracing Office in Baltimore where the volunteers there will open a file and make a determination, based on what you have written, which European Red Cross office(s) should receive it. A typical example, the person you are searching for was born in Poland, may have moved around in Russia and was then possibly sent to an unknown concentration camp. 4. If Baltimore has a question about any of the information you filled in, i.e. they can't find any town in Poland that matches the one you named, they will communicate with your local office who will call or write to you in order to get more accurate information from you. 5. In the above example, after having the forms translated into Polish, Russian and German -- Baltimore will forward your request to the National Office of the Polish Red Cross in Warsaw, the National Office of the Russian Red Cross in Moscow, and the Arolson archives of Concentration Camp Documents in Germany. 6. According to the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) mandate, the Polish and Russian Red Cross National Offices will then open their own files before forwarding your request to the local Red cross office(s) in every place you mentioned that your relative might have lived or even passed through. 7. Local volunteers in all of these offices will then begin the incredible time consuming task of going through 60+ year old hand written sometimes crumbling paper records looking for your relative. (None of this has been computerized). As soon as any bit of information is discovered, it is routed back through the Baltimore office to your local office and then on to you. 8. The bad news is that in approximately 35% of the requests, NO records are ever found. 9. The good news is that Baltimore NEVER closes your case, and if new information is discovered 10 years after you asked for it, it will still be sent to you. In fact, when you think that 65% of the requests for information receive some sort of response, it is truly amazing. As you can see, the process is cumbersome and overwhelming. In addition to all of the genealogists who are looking for their family history, there are literally thousands who are looking for a date to say Kaddish for a parent - and man more who are looking for their self documentation in order to apply for slave labor and property reparations. How long does it take? In the best of cases, a year or two, more often three to five years. One thing is VERY important. If you move or change your phone number and don't update the information with your local office, you stand a good chance of never receiving any of the information! So don't give up. Keep in touch. If the records are there, they'll find them. From a posting by Linda Greenman. P.S. It took six years to find my nephew Simon Marguolis. He was born in Russia, grew up in Siberia, was a Colonel in the Soviet Army and retired to Australia six years after being discharged. And the Red Cross found him after six years living in Melbourne!
