MyHeritage Adds 28 Collections of Jewish Historical Records

We are pleased to announce the publication of 5.8 million records from 28 historical record collections of Jewish historical records. The collections span the 18th–21st centuries and contain vital records such as birth, marriage, death, as well as tax, voter, immigration, and obituary records, from Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Germany, Hungary, the U.S., the U.K., Ireland, and more. These records are invaluable for anyone researching their European Jewish heritage.

The release of these records — made possible thanks to MyHeritage’s collaboration with the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust and its affiliate, JewishGen, a leading website for Jewish genealogy — constitutes the first installment of a licensing agreement that will ultimately make almost all the JewishGen records accessible on MyHeritage. Future installments will include important Jewish historical record collections from North Africa, the Middle East, North America and more European collections. 

For further details, including links to all the collections, please visit the MyHeritage blog at https://blog.myheritage.com/2022/02/myheritage-adds-28-collections-of-jewish-historical-records/.

Note this collection includes the Ireland, Jewish Birth Index and the United Kingdom, Jewish Death and Burial Records collections.
