Shalom friends!

We in the Israel Genealogical Society [IGS] have noticed the large volulme of letters to Jewishgen requsting help with finding Israeli submitters of Pages of Testimony. We would like to help you and have set up a process whereby you can send us your queries and we will field them for you. They will stay on our website where everyone similarly wanting to find submitters of pages of testimony or their descendants will post their queries. We will then publicize the site around Israel so that people can check in from time to time to see if they know anyone or can help you in your search.

Send ALL the following information to: Rose Feldman
Testimony regarding: [Last name, First name]
Country of origin or pre-war residence
Name of submitter of Testimony
Relationship to deceased
Year of submission to YVS
Address and telephone number of Pof Tsubmitter
If the information is in Hebrew or Russian and you cannot read it, state the language it is in and we will complete the information.
Your name
Your email and phone number
Date of posting your enquiry
Out of courtesty to the volunteers who are helping you, please notify us if you have received information on how to contact the submitter or have had success in contacting the submitter or his descendants, so that we can note this on the list and avoid duplicate efforts.

Please note: some unethical people may try to take advantage of the efforts of the Israel Genealogical Society to help you. We are not responsible for anyone who offers his services in exchange for a fee, nor do we recommend any professional genealogists. The IGS' sole interest is to help fellow genealogists find their families in Israel. Our services are free of charge.
