JewishGen USA
Research Division

The JewishGen USA Research Division (USA-RD) is a group of volunteer genealogists exploring the lives of Jews in America from 1654 to the present, with goals to educate, identify, index, and share Jewish historical records that have genealogical value. 

We invite you to surf through the resources on this website; search the JewishGen USA Database by inputting your surname(s) and place(s) of interest; locate U.S. synagogue records in our one-of-a-kind finding aid Shul Records America; volunteer on a project; or make a donation to support the digitization or acquisition of materials.

For questions, please contact Ellen Kowitt, JewishGen USA Research Division Director.
