Thanks for adopting the Slonim pages today. I have been researching my family roots in Slonim, and keep hoping there are some census or vital records out there, but to date have not found them.

 

I found the attached items poking around online over the last few years. If you feel any are useful, please feel free to use them. [I’m assuming I haven’t violated any copyright laws]

I have Pages of Testimony regarding the family members murdered by the Nazis and have, so far, unsuccessfully tried to track down the descendants of the 1956 Israeli submitter of the POTs thru a researcher I hired in Israel.

 

My hope is thru collateral research to someday find out more about the extended members of my family who lived in Slonim in the 19th century & earlier and their descendants. I can trace a direct line back to about the mid 19th century.

 

I’ve attended three IAJGS Conferences in Boston, Salt Lake City & Seattle & expect to also be in Orlando. Looking forward to what you are able to obtain & place on the updated webpages.

 

Again, thanks, for your efforts!
