Historic Jewish civil register — genealogical research at the SVJG

Research

Genealogical societies worldwide and the SVJG's own genealogy software.

Societies worldwide

Jewish genealogical societies are the first point of contact for research in each country. The umbrella organisation is the IAJGS (International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies, est. 1988, around 70 member societies).

SVJG genealogy software

For Endingen and Lengnau AG, the SVJG transcribed the separate Jewish civil status registers and developed its own software for Jewish local and family record books from them. A test version with all functions (limited data-entry capacity) is available from info@svjg.ch.
