Announcement originally posted by Jeff Malka. Thought would be of interest to our group. Gail "It is my great pleasure to announce that Mathilde Tagger, award winning co-author of the book "Guidebook for Sephardic and Oriental Genealogical Sources in Israel" and recipient of this year's IAJGS's Lifetime Achievement Award, has kindly decided to place all the many Sephardic databases she has created over the years on the SephardicGen Resources website" (http://www.SephardicGen.com) the comprehensive website for Sephardic genealogy. To facilitate access to the information in Mathilde Tagger's work I created special search engines that help locate names of people and places in the many databases. The list of new databases (plus links to other databases of Sephardic Genealogy interest on the web) can be found at www.SephardicGen.com/databases/databases.html . I particularly wish to thank Steve Morse (another IAJGS award winner) for his generous help and expert advice without which the search engines would not have been possible. The SephardicGen Resources website, which I first created in 1998, can be found at http://www.SephardicGen.com and is designed to provide not only extensive help for both the new and experienced Sephardic genealogist but also provides links to all the other main Sephardic genealogy resources available on the web. From its main page (above) one can access the several sections of this extensive website which is devoted entirely to Sephardic genealogy: SEPHARDIC HISTORY - articles and links on Sephardic History SEPHARDIC GENEALOGY - articles and links on Sephardic Genealogy WEBSITES BY COUNTRY - links to Sephardic websites and archives by country. **SEARCH THE DATABASES - the new section which hosts Mathilde Tagger's databases with search engines (See www.SephardicGen.com/databases/databases.html ) including a newly prepared searchable annotated Index of almost 3,000 names from Abraham Galante's "Histoire des Juifs de Turquie", plus links to other databases of Sephardic Genealogy interest found on the web SEPHARDIC SURNAMES - articles and lists of Sephardic surnames plus links to other websites that contain lists of names SEPHARDIC GAZETTEER - search for places Sephardic Jews lived by both their modern names and their alternative or older names and link to maps ARCHIVES - list of useful archives (see also the specialized archives listed under the section "Websites by Country") BOOKS - extensive bibliography of Sephardic books sorted by topic and country HOW TO START - advice on how to start in Sephardic genealogy SEPHARDIC FAMILY TREES - links to the Sephardic Family Trees on the web GENEALOGY FORMS - essential forms for the genealogist SEPHARDIC NEWSLISTS - links to available Sephardic Newslists CALENDAR CONVERSION - tools to convert dates to and from the Hebrew, Gregorian, Islamic, Turkish, etc. calendars. In addition there is a page of FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS to assist the visitor. If you have not visited www.SephardicGen.com in some time, you are invited to make use of all its riches. Comments, additions, or suggestions are very welcome.
