2. Through the sands of time
• Jewish genealogy is a broad, multi-faceted
discipline.
• The researcher needs to be acquainted with
the history of cities, countries and their
changes throughout the ages;
• He has to know how to find archives
throughout the world, dig through cemetery
records, browse old newspapers and climb all
the branches of well-known family trees.
