| "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

During the past 22 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 81 issues published between 1985 and 2005
include more than 2,300 pages--4 million words. (See our index
to the first 21 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 $330. Both the search and cost
obstacles have now been overcome. Avotaynu has published
all back issues thru 2005 on CD-ROM; it
is available for 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.
The application only
works on a PC; there is no Mac version. Installation requires
online registration; the system will not work unless it is
registered. The registration process freezes the application
to only one computer.
All back issues of AVOTAYNU 1985-2002 on CD-ROM $99.95
