Jewish Records at the Family History Library 

This includes the largest index of Jewish records held by the FHL ─ records on microfilm, on microfiche, and in print ─ ever compiled. The original database was presented as a gift by The Genealogical Society of Utah to the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) during the 20th International Conference on Jewish Genealogy in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 9, 2000. You can access it online at JewishGen. Updates to the data is included in Nechama's List, also available online.

 

IAJGS International Jewish Cemetery Project

The International Jewish Cemetery Project mission is the documentation of all Jewish burial sites throughout the world. Thus far it has identified over 22,000 cemeteries.  To view the most current cemetery list online, click here. The IAJGS project identifies only cemeteries and burial sites. It is not an index of individual names and graves. For individual Jewish burials please refer to JOWBR (JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry) for updated worldwide Jewish burial information. IAJGS is not able to respond to requests for individual burial information.
