JewishGen UK Database

Welcome to the JewishGen UK Database and Supplementary UK Database.  These are multiple database search facilities, which incorporate all of the databases listed below.  These databases have been contributed by the Jewish Communities and Records - United Kingdom Special Interest Group (JCR-UK), by the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain, and individual donors.  The combined databases have tens of thousands of entries, referring to individuals in the United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

For the time being, it will be necessary to have two different methods of searching for records.  The JewishGen UK Database contains over 60,000 records which JewishGen has already processed; the Supplementary UK Database contains those records waiting to be processed by JewishGen and are being made available to JCR-UK via JGSGB.  As the records are absorbed into JewishGen UK, they will be removed from Supplementary UK.

Both databases are works in progress and new entries are being added regularly.
We strongly recommend that you search separately in both databases.
