We acknowledge the tremendous contributions and lifelong dedication of Mathilde Tagger, z”l who made this index available. For many years, and right until her untimely death, Mathilde Tagger was a very close friend and collaborator with Jeff Malka. Together they worked to promote Sephardic genealogy research and educate the public about its enormous potential.

In addition, we express our grateful appreciation to Dr. Jeff Malka for his monumental ongoing effort to collect and make accessible Sephardic genealogical information, and for his generosity in contributing his extraordinarily valuable collection to JewishGen.

This database is searchable via the JewishGen Austria-Czech Database, the JewishGen Sephardic Collection, or the JewishGen Jeff Malka Collection.
