Hi all, I see Ancestry has Jewish records now to search.
I don't have a sub. but when you search are all the names in the free searches Jewish people only.
Thank-you. Jackie.

Researching:
Simmonds, Sanders, Hurst, Iddioles & varient spellings & Shields.

Its a bit ambiguous but I can look up for you if you cant see what you want

The JewishGen Yizkor Book Necrology Database indexes the names of persons in the necrologies — the lists of Holocaust martyrs — published in the Yizkor Books appearing on the JewishGen Yizkor Book Translation Project. This database is only an index of names; it directs researchers back to the Yizkor Book itself, where more complete information may be available.
also polish deaths,

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

Hi Lindsey,
Thank-you for reply,sorry couldn't get on till now.
I don't quite understand, I just thought if tapping into the new Jewish records on Ancestry (census) & a name came up that I think maybe my grandad then that means that was a Jewish family in England, is this right? Thank-you, Jackie.
I don't tthink that book would apply to me as yet as I haven't got as far as finging my right g.dad yet.
