JRI-Poland
One of the most amazing genealogical projects. JRI-Poland founded 16 years ago, was an outgrowth of Stanley Diamond’s need for broad-based access to the Jewish vital records of the former Lomza Gubernia for genetic research purposes. The goal of Jewish Records Indexing – Poland (JRI-Poland) is to create searchable on-line indices of Jewish records from current and former territories of Poland. Where such records are available, they may include towns that are now part of Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus.

Who We Are
We are a Polish-Dutch researching team. For both of us Jewish genealogy has become a passion. Since more than 10 years we have been solving riddles, i.e. deciphering handwritten Polish, German and Old-Russian vital records, which has been only possible thanks to our knowledge of these languages. We perform professional genealogical research of your families back to its roots in the 18th century, taking you so on an exceptional journey to the past.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide high quality research on genealogy, as well as field tours for descendants of Polish Jews. For over 10 years we have been assisting individuals and families with Polish-Jewish roots, uncovering unknown aspects of their personal history and locating long-lost and sometimes unknown relatives. Our research experience is extensive, and we possess excellent command of several languages, and are familiar with many aspects of Polish and Polish-Jewish history, culture and customs. We often lecture about genealogy-related topics at international conferences and workshops, including in universities in Poland and abroad.
Our References
Being genealogical researchers for over 10 years has given us the unique opportunity to cooperate both with genealogists all over the world as well as with filmmakers, writers, and scientific institutions. From these contacts and meetings we have gained a great deal. We endeavor to use this knowledge and experience in our work. We therefore allow those who have trusted us and of whom we have learned a lot to speak.
