Subject:      Jewish Bibliography

This is a SELECTIVE bibliography on Jewish Genealogy.  Items one through
seventeen have a complete citation.  The next to the last line is the
subject heading assigned by the Library of Congress (LC), which will
give you some idea on the content of the book, e.g. #1 is on Polish
Jewish genealogy, #3 is a handbook on genealogy, which is Library jargon
means "How to do it," and #5 is a bibliography of United States Jewish
genealogy.  The last line is the LC call number.  With that call number
you can locate the book in libraries in the United States.  Those of you
who have access to major genealogy collections may wish to add titles.

This is arranged in two categories:     1.  Handbooks, i.e. How to do
it.
                         2.  Geographic regions, e.g. #15
