Family Tree of the Jewish People

The Family Tree of the Jewish People (FTJP) is a cooperative project among JewishGen, Inc., the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) and the Nahum Goldmann Museum of the Jewish Diaspora (Beit Hatefutsot). The central purpose of the FTJP is to enhance Jews' ability to connect and re-connect their families and to increase interest in Jewish genealogy.  The three agencies will disseminate the information in differing ways: IAJGS will provide the data on a CD-ROM, Beit Hatefutsot at their facility in Tel Aviv, and JewishGen as a freely searchable database on this internet website. By submitting your GEDCOM file to this program, you become an integral part of this effort and you acknowledge and agree to the following: The GEDCOM you are submitting represents your personal research efforts into your own family connections.  If your submission includes data that is the work of another person you must have their permission to put it on line. You will not submit any information that infringes on the copyright of others, nor is defamatory or profane in any way. Your submission does not entitle you to any compensation, monetary or other. You will respond in a timely fashion to any researcher who makes contact with you through the third party e-mail system maintained by JewishGen. JewishGen, Inc. may reproduce, compile, and freely distribute, the information in your submitted GEDCOM file to the other two organizations who are party to a two-year agreement signed in October 1999. Because of the concerns for privacy of living persons, any data displayed on the Internet will not contain the date and place of birth for any person for whom a death date is not included, nor will source notes be displayed. JewishGen, Inc. copyrights only the compilation of GEDCOMs as the database.  This does not limit you from publishing, selling, giving or otherwise distributing your GEDCOM for commercial or non-commercial purposes. JewishGen, Inc. and the parties to the collective effort agreement warrant that none shall transfer or sell family trees or their database, or any part thereof, to any third party without the prior written consent of the other two signatories. By searching the JewishGen, Inc. online version of the Family Tree of the Jewish People you agree to the following: While you have been granted full and unlimited search rights to GEDCOM files in this online version, it is for your personal research interests only.  Any use of this database for commercial purposes is prohibited. You will hold JewishGen, Inc. harmless from any wrongdoing or inaccuracies in the compiled data.  Any complaints regarding the content of any data contained in this online version should be directed to the submitter who is the source of the data. To search or submit data to the FTJP, you must have a JewishGen ID, which can be obtained by registering yourself with JewishGen.  If you have forgotten your JewishGen ID, use the Password Request Form.
