The Boniuk Library can assist with family history and genealogy research for families who lost relatives in the Holocaust. The collection includes registries of survivors and victims. We also provide general genealogy resources and information specific to the Jewish community. Most genealogy resources are in our Reference Collection and cannot be removed from the library.
Below are some on-site and online resources for genealogy research at the Boniuk Library.
