Genealogical research

The Danish Jewish Museum's collection contains both photos, objects and personal archives with relevance for family history studies. You can read more about the options for searching and consulting relevant materials below the page 'the collection'.

Inquiries that only concern genealogical and family history matters should be directed to The Society for Danish Jewish History.

A number of databases of genealogical information are available online:

• Mosaic burials and tombstones until 1886

• Danish-Jewish genealogical database (requires membership of SDJH)

• Jewish men registered in the copulation protocol in Copenhagen, 1735-1810
