Irish Jewish Family History Database

Irish Jewish Family History Database

The Irish Jewish Family History Database has been compiled by Stuart Rosenblatt, P.C., FGSI, and President of The Genealogical Society of Ireland. The database contains information on more than 52,000 individuals who lived in Ireland during the past 300 years. The first query is free but you must register your email address and password. An explanation of the databaseĀ is found on the website (www.irishjewishroots.com/names/): Individual entries cover over 70 fields of information ranging from date and place of birth, school, marriage and occupation details where available as well as links to parents, children and siblings. For those who died in Ireland, Belfast, Dublin, Limerick and Cork, the burial plot is listed making easier access when visiting the grounds. Also listed are Hebrew names and dates, The most important discovery is the Alien registration records of 1914-1922 when non-national (non-British subjects) had to register with the police. TheĀ database came to my attention from Dick Eastman's blog posting about Rosenblatt's gift to Dublin City of 14 volumes of genealogical lists, which can be read here: http://blog.eogn.com/2015/08/25/14-volumes-of-genealogical-lists-of-irish-jewish-families-presented-to-dublin-city/#more-9091.
