| The
intent of this
website is to provide Jewish genealogy information
and research advice. Beginning in 2011 simply as a way to organize my
own family information and find cousins, it has since expanded well
beyond that into an encyclopedia of many families, communities, and
guides. And
it continues to grow! Access Profile pages on the website (containing source records) are password protected. Please write to jewgenpedia@gmail.com to get access. Accuracy Genealogy is an imperfect science. The accuracy of information and relationships is limited by the availability and content of records, which, in some cases, is quite poor. I have tried to qualify assumptions and theories with terms such as "likely" or "possibly" and with some footnoted explanations, but this is not always possible, given the breadth of information. I strongly encourage you to consult the original sources (many of which are included on the profile pages) and see whether you reach the same or different conclusions. Copyright Since this project is solely for educational and personal (non-commercial) purposes, I claim no copyright for any of the analysis on the website. Copying this information is not only permissible, but also greatly encouraged in order to build our collective knowledge (assuming you consider the accuracy limitations)! Source records, however, may and often do have their own copyright protections (which is why they are behind a firewall) and should be reproduced publicly only after consulting the relevant owner/archive to obtain any necessary permissions. Privacy While past history is presented in as much detail as possible, every effort has been made to protect the privacy of living people. Unless they are known to be deceased, people born less than about 100 years ago are generally assumed to be living and not included on the website. Updates One of the greatest advantages of publishing the information in a website format is that it can be quickly and easily revised. This is done often, based on new records or analysis. Thus, you may want to check back periodically on sections that are of interest to you. Please also write to the email address above if you are able to edit existing or provide new information. |
