Extractions: Jerusalem, Israel Genealogical research is as old as the study of man. The Bible offers us an excellent example of recording the family tree in a format accessible to all. As there has not been any updates recently, we are today concerned with the researching of family histories of the more recent past. Genealogical research techniques and sources are neutral as to religions, cultures and nationalities. They include family interviews, oral history, personal papers and official documentation including birth, death, census, citizenship and tax records. This paper is devoted to the sources specific to Jewish genealogical research and how the collection resources of the IGS library have exemplified this. It is appropriate that we present it here in Israel whose language is that of the Bible which is a source for Jewish genealogical research. Genealogical libraries originated as part of the local collections of public libraries. Many of the reference queries revolve around family histories and items of local interest. The collections include clippings, monographic material, newspapers, maps and photographs. These collections have evolved into History and Genealogy Sections of public and state libraries. Many collections are available at web sites. In addition, Judaic collections at university libraries have offered another avenue for research. A sampling of the research material exhibited on these web sites reveal a basic core of sources. They include: newspapers, vital records, indices of county, state and national records, handbooks and guides, censuses, passenger lists and indices, cemetery records, telephone directories, family histories/trees, periodicals, atlases and online access to the genealogical resources of the LDS church.

Extractions: Family Finder First Name: Middle: Last: by Dena Eben Printer-friendly version Spotlight on Jewish Roots Expert Dena Eben shows you how to begin searching for and documenting your Jewish roots. Learn some of the specific advantages and difficulties, and techniques for following leads when traditional records don't suffice. Got mishpucha? Jewish family extends beyond religion, encompassing a cultural heritage worth discovering. Here's how to stop futzing and start finding your Jewish roots. Jewish genealogy is about discovering culture, not necessarily religion, although it helps if you have a small amount of basic theological knowledge. When you delve into a rich and well-documented 5,761-year history, sometimes the line between culture and religion blurs. A working knowledge of key terms, such as shtetl (small Jewish community in Eastern Europe), ketubah (marriage contract) or get (divorce contract), may be invaluable to your research. For many eager researchers, it is the gradual assimilation into American life that sparks their interest in reclaiming a Jewish heritage. Vera Weizmann, wife of Israel's first president, Chaim Weizmann, once noted, "We Jews are a strange people: We remember Moses, the Kings David and Solomon, but we know next to nothing about our own forefathers besides our parents and occasionally our grandparents."
