Extractions: Jewish Genealogy This was originally published in Jewish Week in September 1996. In the last few years the accessibility of on-line data bases useful for genealogical research has been growing. Some of the stuff you can now do is, as Wayne and Garth might put it, totally awesome. Genealogy used to be something you did personally and locally. But with the Internet you can now research your family tree with the help of total strangers around the globe. The first thing you want to do is set your web browser to JewishGen (http://www.jewishgen.org). This is the web site down in Houston that grew out of the electronic mailing list on Jewish genealogy, which in turn evolved out of a series of computer bulletin boards dating back to the mid-1980's. Susan King, the founder of JewishGen, got it all started after visiting a cemetery in Galveston, Texas with her parents and noticing that next to her great-great grandfather there were seven other relatives whom her father knew nothing about. King returned to Houston on a mission. Today JewishGen has 3,000 people subscribing to its mailing list and more than 100 volunteers around the world contribute information to its web site. Between 25 and 50 posts a day are distributed free to subscribers via email and also forwarded to the Internet newsgroup soc.genealogy.jewish.
