JewishGen Value-Added Services
JewishGen Value-Added Services are a
special “Thank You” to all who contribute a minimum
of $100 annually to the
JewishGen
General Fund.
These Value-Added Services currently include:
-
The JGFFAlert System
The JGFFAlert System is an
“immediate advisory system”, which constantly
monitors all entries and changes made to the
JewishGen Family Finder (JGFF),
and alerts participants immediately if a new entry into
the JGFF is a potential match with one of their own entries.
As a participant in the Value-Added Services, whenever any
JGFF entry is made which matches any of your current JGFF entries,
the JGFFAlert System will notify you immediately via e-mail,
alerting you about the matching entry.
The JGFFAlert System relieves you of the need to check
periodically for new entries... JewishGen does it for you!
For more information about the JGFFAlert System,
see the JGFF FAQ, 3.7.

Advanced Database Search Features
In JewishGen's
“All Country Databases”,
participants in the Value-Added Services program will have the
ability to use our Advanced Database Search Features,
which let you combine multiple search criteria, using Boolean AND/OR
searches. This allows more focused, targeted searches.
For example, you can search for all persons whose surname
sounds like "Katz" and whose first name starts with "Abr".
Or you can search for family groups containing a particular set
of given names, within a particular town.
While we never subtract anything from the free basic search
capabilities which always have been available, and will
continue to be freely available to all, the
Advanced Database Search Features is a
Value-Added Service — our way of saying
“Thank You” to those who provide financial support
and help us pay the bills for all the programs and projects
which JewishGen offers as a public service.

Basic Genealogy Courses
JewishGen offers four Basic Genealogy Courses:
"Search Strategies", "Exploring JewishGen", "Organizing Your Data"
and "Cite Your Sources".
These courses are text-based with skill-building exercises for
each topic. They are open 24/7 on an interactive JewishGen
Forum, where you can download the lessons and work at your own pace.
Our courseware is fee-based, and discounts on these four Basic Courses are
included as part of the Value-Added Services program.
For more information about the Basic Genealogy Courses, see the
JewishGen Learning Center.
