Research Assistance at the Peter and Mary Kalikow Jewish Genealogy Research Center

The Peter and Mary Kalikow Jewish Genealogy Research Center is the physical presence of JewishGen—the genealogical research division of the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust.

Our professional genealogists who are experts in family history research are here to guide and assist you, whether you’re just starting your search or digging deeper into your family tree. With unlimited access to JewishGen’s powerful online tools and many other essential resources, the Kalikow Center is your personalized launchpad for discovery.

Here, your family’s past comes to life. Genealogical research—especially Jewish family history—can be a fascinating but complex journey, filled with hidden details, unfamiliar languages, and elusive records. That’s where we come in.
