FAMILY TREES IN THE LIBRARY

The Library of the JGSGB holds 4 series (A -D) of Family Trees in paper form.  C series are physically large trees stored in rolls.

 

The trees have been submitted by members, former members and non-members.  They range from one page without dates or places to documents running to a hundred or more pages, fully annotated and illustrated.

 

The Society takes no responsibility for accuracy, and suggests that members verify information included in trees.

 

Surnames occurring at least 3 times in one tree have been indexed alphabetically. When a surname begins with "de", "van", "von", etc it is listed twice: e.g. Waal and de Waal.  This also applies to Israeli surnames like Ben Yehuda.  However, where only a patronymic is shown, e.g Zvi ben Daniel, it has not been indexed.

 

In addition to the list of surnames, a further list has been made in numerical order of the A and D series and partially for B series, showing range of dates and key places. Similar lists are being prepared for the rest of B and all C series.  Click here for the list of D trees

 

Future projects include the listing of surnames and trees received in electronic form.

 

If you would like to submit a new tree or update to an existing one, please follow the guidelines for submitters.
