"The single most
significant development in the field of Jewish genealogy over the past
decade has been the appearance of Avotaynu...(It) is essential for all
Jewish genealogists. You must subscribe to it."
---Arthur
Kurzweil, From
Generation to Generation
 Are you an Avotaynu subscriber?
The world's largest circulation magazine devoted to Jewish genealogy
each year publishes more than 300 pages of useful, interesting
information that can help you in your research. Now in its 33rd year, an index
to the first 24 volumes
is available to all the major articles.
Published
quarterly, our contributing
editors from 15 countries throughout the world
regularly gather important information that appears in our issues. Our
publishers, Gary Mokotoff and Sallyann Amdur Sack, are on a first name
basis with officials at institutions containing genealogical data
throughout the world. Some institutions
are YIVO Institute, American
Jewish Archives, American Jewish Historical Society, U.S. National
Archives, U.S. Library of Congress, U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum,
Leo Baeck Institute, U.S. Holocaust
Museum, Yad Vashem and Central Archives for the History of
the Jewish
People.
Subscriptions to our journal, AVOTAYNU, are no longer available, as its editors and production team have retired after 37 years. The Avotaynu Anthology is temporarily unavailable. For more information, contact info@avotaynubooks.com.
We have taken the more than 2,900 articles published in our flagship
journal AVOTAYNU from 1985–2011 and placed them on the
Internet. The scope of the articles cover virtually every aspect of
Jewish family history research as can be seen from "Number of articles
by topic" shown below. We then had Google Custom Search do a full-word
index of the more than 5 million words. Searching the database uncovers
the relevant articles which can then be read and/or printed.
