See the fascinating article below from the Sunday Business Post dated January 31, 2010, how Stuart Rosenblatt, a Dublin-based genealogist, dedicated his life to gathering and compiling information on the Jewish community in Ireland. This arduous work resulted in a 16 volume archive that is now being made available for the first time on the internet through the partnership of Stuart Rosenblatt and Ancestor Network. The database compiled by Stuart Rosenblatt has information of over 42,000 people. Dublin’s Stuart Rosenblatt has put together an exceptional archive of Irish Jewry spanning almost four centuries. The 16-volume record dates back to 1664 and includes births, marriages, burials and inscriptions, school records and census information concerning Belfast, Cork, Limerick, Dublin and other towns in Ireland where Jewish people lived. The volumes are being kept at the Irish Jewish Genealogical Society (JIG), as division of the Irish Jewish Museum. Stuart Rosenblatt, 65, head of the JIG, tells People: “This is a one-stop shop for those searching for their roots. It started when I was researching my own family tree and I branched out into other areas, discovering records about the Jewish community that others would not know existed. It’s now a compulsive hobby. ” He adds: “I want anyone with any Irish ancestors to contact me, as we have 42,000 names and may be able to help people look for their family.” Genealogist Stuart Rosenblatt is also keen to continue tracing his own family. “I am looking for anyone doing work on Zarnow in Poland as I am trying to find my grandmother there.” If you are interested in seeing if your ancestors or relatives are held on this database, the process is easy.
