JewishGen is the primary internet source connecting researchers of Jewish genealogy worldwide. JewishGen is for those researching their Jewish ancestry and based on the concept of free sharing of information. The site is staffed primarily by volunteers.

JewishGen has access to over 35 databases of information from various countries around the world. The JewishGen Family Finder (JGFF) is a database of ancestral towns and surnames currently being researched by Jewish genealogists worldwide. Enter the name of an ancestor to access the database or submit information of your ancestors for inclusion into the database, so others can access your information.

JewishGen is the perfect site for those of Jewish ancestry.

We gave JewishGen a lower overall rating only because it targets such a small portion of the world population.
