  • For anyone with Jewish ancestors from Prussia/Germany

    I know someone in Germany who's doing a PhD on an aspect of Jewish history in Germany & he's told me that the University of Dortmund has set up a special unit to research/collate information about Jewish history & Jewish families in any areas which have belonged to Germany or Prussia. I haven't looked into it yet, but thought I'd post the information if anyone is interested.....I'll post more if I find out more & put a post in the reference section

            I would be interested too. I have just had a letter back from the red cross stating they could not find any information about by GGrandfathers family.

              That's what I've been wondering as well, OC. I've no idea how long this project has been going...it may have just started. It looks as though my lot were from the Warsaw area (only a probability)......I can't imagine what documents they could be using

                No, I can't imagine what sources they will be using that aren't already known to Jewishgen. Perhaps they are going to invite people to submit family information, or perhaps they are going to use public documents such as newspapers etc.
