Avotaynu Back Issues on CD-ROM

During the past 18 years, AVOTAYNU has developed a reputation for being a must-read publication for persons doing Jewish genealogical research and has even been extolled by the general genealogical community for its articles of interest to anyone, Jewish and non-Jewish, with Central or Eastern European ancestry. The 69 issues published between 1985 and 2002 include more than 2,600 articles--2.6 million words. (See our index to the first 14 volumes for a list of the articles.)

Using back issues of AVOTAYNU as a research tool has been encumbered by the difficulty of locating articles of interest and the cost of printed copies of back issues, now more than $300. Both the search and cost obstacles have now been overcome. Avotaynu has published all back issues thru 2002 on CD-ROM; it is available in Windows only. Using a searching tool, which includes full-word indexing, every word of every back issue of AVOTAYNU is accessible. If in all the articles there is only one mention of a town or a surname, the search engine will find it. By specifying key words or combinations of key words, the CD-ROM version will locate any article that includes all the words.
