Getting Started in Jewish Genealogy

Develop a research plan that begins with family stories and materials, progresses to civil records, and utilizes immigration records to determine name and town origins abroad. Then learn how to access soundexes developed specifically for Jewish surnames, explore Jewish given name variations, tap into social media and JewishGen networks, and view examples of Jewish genealogical documents. Strategies and resources for the unique challenges found in Holocaust, rabbinic, and Sephardic research will also be demonstrated.
