Index to the First Twenty-four Volumes of AVOTAYNU
AVOTAYNU maintains an index to selected articles that have appeared in
the first eighteen volumes (1985–2008) of the publication. Only shown are major articles and some excerpts from
the sections "From Our Contributing Editors" and "From Our Mailbox." Not shown is the "U.S.
Update" column, which is a digest of articles that appeared in publications of the Jewish genealogical societies
and special interest groups. The articles in Volume III, Number 4 and many in Volumes IV-XXIV, Number 4, were human
interest features and, therefore, are not part of the index. Each entry is the title of the article followed by
the volume/number/page. Back issues can be purchased for $10 each ($12 outside North America) from Avotaynu, Inc., 155
N. Washington Ave, Bergenfield, NJ 07621. Note: Most earlier back issues are available in photocopy version only.
All back issues from 1985–2008 are available on CD-ROM for $99.95 plus shipping.
