The JewishGen Family Finder is a compilation of surnames and towns currently being researched by over 50,000 Jewish genealogists worldwide. It contains over 250,000 entries: 75,000 ancestral surnames and 18,000 town names, and is indexed and cross-referenced by both surname and town name. The JGFF was created in 1982 by Gary Mokotoff under the auspices of the New York-based Jewish Genealogical Society, and is now maintained by JewishGen, a non-profit organization affiliated with the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust.

Researchers should check the JGFF for genealogists with similar research interests, and can then contact them for an exchange of information. The JGFF is a networking tool, which is updated daily online.
