Family Tree of the Jewish People

The Family Tree of the Jewish People (FTJP) is a project to centralize the collection of Jewish family trees, to provide a powerful resource to connect individuals researching the same Jewish family branches, to reconnect their families, and to increase interest in Jewish genealogy. As of October 2023, we have collected 9,514,589 records from 8,664 family trees!


THERE ARE TWO EASY WAYS TO SUBMIT YOUR FAMILY TREE TO JEWISHGEN:

OPTION #1: FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE A FAMILY TREE IN ELECTRONIC FORMAT If you have already created a Family Tree using a genealogy sofrware program, you can download your entire tree into a GEDCOM file. You can then easily submit that GEDOM file to JewishGen by clicking the "I ACCEPT and wish to UPLOAD my Gedcom" buttom on the bottom of the screen. That's all there is to it! Once you have submitted your file, a JewishGen volunteer will reach out to confirm that it has been added to the Family Tree of the Jewish People, and that you have become integral part of this project.:

OPTION#2: FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO CREATE A NEW FAMILY TREE: We have partnered with MyHeritage.com to provide a special facility for Jewish Genners to create their family tree on MyHeritage.com, or import their GEDCOM there, and automatically share the tree with JewishGen's Family Tree of the Jewish People.  This partnership provides Jewish genealogists with a highly capable family tree system supporting English, Hebrew and 34 additional languages, with photos, Smart Matches and a host of additional features, with the added benefit of synchronization with JewishGen. By participating, you will help grow the Family Tree of the Jewish People, while keeping its contents constantly up-to-date, and you may be rewarded by being discovered and contacted by Jewish genealogists who can add to your family tree.
