Do you have an interesting story about your ancestors. Something that gives insight into their life and times? If so, please take a few moments to share so that others that happen this way might learn. Tell us what made your parent, grandparent or great-grandparent special to you. Where did they work, what were their hobbies, etc. What family stories do you remember that were passed down from generation to generation? Be sure to use the 'add a discussion' link rather than replying to a story that someone else has posted.

It is a sad reality that most Jews researching their families will eventually discover relatives who were victims of the Holocaust. Many of you may even know of these ancestors, much like Lisa Kudrow in this week's episode of Who Do You Think You Are? If at some point you want to know more about what they endured, or are searching for relatives who may have survived the Holocaust, there are a number of Holocaust databases and resources available to help you learn more about the Holocaust, its victims, and its survivors.
If you need help getting your family tree back to ancestors who may have been impacted by the Holocaust, or want to take your family tree back even further, here are some of my favorite free online Jewish genealogy databases to get you started as well as a beginner's guide to researching Jewish roots.

Many records documenting the history of Ireland and her people were lost forever when fire swept through the Dublin Public Record Office in 1922. This disaster, following the destruction of the Record Tower in Dublin Castle in the early 18th century, and the destruction by government order of the 1861-1891 census returns, means that Irish researchers must face the loss of most 20th century Irish census records, along with civil, probate and parish records valuable for Irish family history research.
While there are a few notable records that survive that cover the majority of Ireland, including Griffith's Valuation and the 1901 Ireland census, the majority of Irish records available to genealogists cover smaller areas, including fragments of early censuses, and especially parish records. Despite these limitations, however, many sites offer valuable data for researching Irish ancestry in the form of extractions, transcriptions and digitized images. To get you started tracing your Irish ancestors I've highlighted 12 of my favorite Web Sites for Researching Irish Ancestors.
