JewishGen is a fantastic site,
affiliated with the Museum of Jewish Heritage, that
provides a vast range of Jewish genealogical information,
absolutely free of charge. JewishGen calls itself the
home of Jewish Genealogy and we are certainly impressed
by the wealth of information and resources that are
featured on JewishGen. As the name suggests, JewishGen is
focussed mainly on Jewish family history, particularly
for those who wish to trace their family history through
the tumultuous and tragic period of the holocaust.
JewishGen is unlikely to be of particular interest to
those without Jewish heritage, therefore.
That said, for those who have Jewish heritage, we are
certain that the resources provided on this site will
undoubtedly help in your genealogical research. JewishGen
users don't even have to register in order to use the
features on the site, although users can register in
order to receive regular updates as to the new records
which are now loaded onto the site. JewishGen users can
search by surname, country and town, or through specific
ancestry records by searching a full name and date of
birth details. There is also an advanced search function
available for those users who have a greater quantity of
information available, in order to return more specific
results.
One of the best features of JewishGen is the Holocaust
Database, which provides dedicated research materials for
those who are looking to explore the history of the
members of their family who are known or suspected to
have died during the holocaust. The Holocaust Database is
constantly updated, with almost one hundred thousand new
records added every year. This is a fantastic resource
that currently contains more than 2 million entries
containing information about Holocaust victims and
survivors, split over 150 component datasets. These
datasets are all introduced by experts in the field,
giving a detailed summary as to the contents of each
dataset. Many of the datasets are also fascinating
reading, such as Schindler's Lists, which details the
Jewish individuals that were saved in Poland and the
Czech Republic, by Oscar Schindler.
We think JewishGen is a wonderful site that provides
support for those who are researching their Jewish
ancestry. The vast collection of innovative resources and
searchable databases means that this site is ideal for
the beginner or seasoned genealogist. If you have Jewish
heritage, this site is definitely going to be useful to
you, so hit the link below to check it out for
yourself.
