JewishGen is a destination genealogy site that hosts databases, tools, and research resources focused on Jewish ancestry worldwide. It is far more than a research guide—JewishGen contains millions of searchable records, many of which are unavailable on general genealogy websites.
For genealogists, JewishGen is especially valuable for:
- Eastern European Jewish research
- Holocaust-era documentation
- town- and region-based research
- surname and family reconstruction
