As our ancestors travelled and moved from one country to another before arriving in the UK we often need to obtain information from records held in other countries and sometimes we receive photos from cemeteries outside of the UK. Regular visitors to CemeteryScribes will have noticed that we recently added headstone photos from the small Jewish Cemetery in Landstuhl, Germany<\/a>. We also have photos from Hong Kong Jewish Cemetery<\/a> and will be adding, in the near future, headstone photos and plaques from Singapore Jewish Cemetery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One website we always visit when needing help outside the UK is GenAmi, the Association of Jewish Genealogy<\/a>. With their Head Office in Paris, France, associate members across Europe and beyond, they generally come up trumps.<\/p>\n

Micheline Gutmann<\/strong><\/span>, GenAmi’s president, explains their sole objective as being to help members know their ancestors and understand their history<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Their website is\u00a0overflowing\u00a0with information, articles, details of what’s new, recent research trips, family trees, records, quarterly reviews<\/a> and in addition to all this, their Forum where members can ask for help and help each other. There are over 9,000 posts, which gives an idea of how well used it is.<\/p>\n

\"GenAmi\"<\/p>\n

To keep on track with our Cemetery theme, GenAmi <\/strong><\/span>have also researched several parts of the Montparnasse Cemetery (Jewish Section)<\/span> with details of burials in Divisions 5, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29<\/span> available to members. A fascinating resource, where I have been lucky enough to find several of my own families’ burial details. These records include the date of death, birth, place of birth, spouse, plot details and when the plot was purchased.<\/p>\n

While GenAmi do require a very small annual membership fee (30e) they also provide information to non-members see here<\/a> and the site is available in English or French.<\/p>\n

If looking for a nice Hanukah present for the genealogist in your family, membership of this fabulous resource may well be the answer!<\/span><\/p>\n
