Chapter on Jewish Genealogy

Link to non-Jewish Genealogy

Welcome to the Hönig & Müller - Jewish Genealogy Service. We are here to assist you to trace down your ancestors and to learn more about the Jewish communities in Bohemia and Moravia regions of former Austro-Hungarian Empire.

You may want to note that :

• You submit your query and after the preliminary survey we will contact you back to confirm and update your data. Then we can discuss the strategy on how to proceed on further research (paternal or maternal lines, family tree or specific survey on community history, local rabbis, synagogues, cemeteries, chevra kadisha books, family health problems, legal cases etc.).
• The research shall take about a month if the family dwelled in one region (no migration across the country, no missing vital records). We can combine alternative data sources (Censuses, parish records, etc.).
• Our small experienced enterprise is located in Czech Republic, so we can research the hand-written (German, Czech, Latin) Bohemian and Moravian vital records, rabinate books, duplicate-church records (sometimes of great help due to missing local rabinate books), and other valuable documents like Familiant Books, Census Books, old town maps, Taxation Books, Landlords Jewish agenda etc. We charge by the hour, plus the bill for vital records fees (stamps for accessing of the vital records), photocopies and travel expenses (usually shared with other customers). Please, see our fee structure.
• All data will be kept confidentially and will be delivered exclusively to the person who ordered the research.
