Searching JewishGen's “All Country” Databases

A search of one of JewishGen's “All Country Databases” searches through all of the relevant JewishGen databases — the JewishGen Family Finder (JGFF), JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR), the JewishGen Yizkor Book Necrology Database, as well as all other datasets which pertain to the focus country.

Below is the HTML code for creating a button on your webpage, to send a town name to one of JewishGen's “All Country Databases”.  You can cut and paste the section of code directly from the box on this page.

Make the following substitutions:

• Substitute your town name every place you see “YourTown”.
• Substitute your country name every place you see “Lithuania”, according to the parameter table at the bottom of this page.

<H3>JewishGen Lithuania Database (for YourTown)</H3> <P>Click the button to show all entries for YourTown in the <A HREF="https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Lithuania"> JewishGen Lithuania Database</A>. </P> <FORM Method="POST" Action="https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/jgform.php"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="allcountry" VALUE="00lithuania"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="srch1" VALUE="YourTown"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="srch1v" VALUE="T"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="srch1t" VALUE="E"> <input TYPE="submit" VALUE="Search the JewishGen Lithuania Database"> </FORM>

Here is a live example of the above code, which creates a button that searches the “JewishGen Poland Database” for the town of "Tarnow":

Alternate/Multiple Town Names:

If you want the button to search for several alternate names of your town (e.g.: to search for all occurrences of either "Zalozce" or "Zaliztsi"), then use the following code:

<FORM Method="POST" Action="https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/jgform.php"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="allcountry" VALUE="00ukraine"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="srch1" VALUE="TOWNNAME-1"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="srch1v" VALUE="T"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="srch1t" VALUE="E"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="srch2" VALUE="TOWNNAME-2"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="srch2v" VALUE="T"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="srch2t" VALUE="E"> <input TYPE="hidden" name="SrchBOOL" VALUE="OR"> <input TYPE="submit" VALUE="Search the JewishGen Ukraine Database"> </FORM>

You can search for up to four alternate town names, using parameters srch1, srch2, srch3, and srch4, as above.

The spelling of the town name that is used in the JGFF must be listed first  (name="srch1").
