Awards: My benevolent and unselfish desire to try and share genealogy info to help other genealogists has resulted in my website receiving some awards: Jewish Genealogy "Key Resource" by Links2Go, "Featured Heartland Neighborhood Webpage" by Geocities, "Featured Webpage" by Family Genealogy, A Passage in Time, "Family Tree Commendation" by Who's Who Online, "Award of Excellence in 1997" by NetAwards, and "New Sites" by Starting Point.

Webpage Content:

This webpage is oriented towards Jewish genealogy research info for
Phila, NYC, and the LDS. I have observed that most of this US material
is generic regardless of ones ethnic backround.
I also have some National Archives and South Africa info as well.

So fasten your seatbelts and prepare to be launched into an information journey.
As I mentioned above, if you are new to internet genealogy,
I encourage you to read my "Happy file".

And, if you are new to the web and need some help (or a LOT of help)
figuring out how to download webpages, read my "save file".

My "links page" has a ton of good links.
Already found "everything" on that special relative?

Check out my "list page" for a killer list of genealogy records to find.

For those of you who are seriously looking for that deceased relative,
skim thru my "Skiptracing dead relatives"page.

And, as always, please send me an e-mail if you see anything of interest.
I hope SOME of you are doing archive research besides web surfing...
Shalom and G-d bless!
