How to Find and View Records | ||||||
|
The films and fiche referred to in Nechama's List can be ordered and viewed at your local Family History Center. The Family History Library has over 4000 branches which are called Family History Centers and are located in 88 countries. You can find the one nearest to you at: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp
These centers are open to the public.
The records identified in Nechama's List are available due to the continuing effort, time and expense of the FHL, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Genealogical Society of Utah to provide public access to genealogy materials gleaned worldwide. Nechama's List is not intended to be a replacement for the Family History Library Catalog. The purpose of this List is to familiarize the researchers with the new materials available for research and to maximize their ability to use the resources in the Family History Library system.
It is important to note that Nechama's List does not give all the records at the Family History Library Catalog that are useful for Jewish genealogical research. Many valuable genealogical sources include Jewish people along with the rest of the general population. These include such sources as census, vital records, naturalization, civil registration, court records, and passenger's lists.
Published paper copies of the books listed in Nechama's List can only be viewed at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. The films and fiche listed (unless restricted by the original source) can be ordered and read through your local Family History Center. |
