JewishGen is a non-profit organization founded in 1987 as an international electronic resource for Jewish genealogy. In 2003, JewishGen became an affiliate of the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in New York City, and is now a division of the Museum of Jewish Heritage. JewishGen provides a free, open-access platform for both amateur and professional genealogists to research Jewish family history and heritage.
