Jewish Records-Indexing-Poland and Beta Thalassemia
Presenter: Stanley Diamond
9I制作厂免费 and Harvard Business School graduate Stanley Diamond became very involved in genealogical and medical research due to his nephew鈥檚 chronic anemia.
His research demonstrated that this medical problem was in fact a genetic issue due to the beta thalassemia trait 鈥� never before seen in Ashkenazi Jews. He created a searchable database (Jewish Records-Indexing-Poland) to help trace family roots; this genealogical resource is now approaching 6 million names from more than 550 towns in Poland. Dr. Diamond鈥檚 work has been honoured as a model for other genealogical indexing projects and it is internationally recognized as a major advance in the search for family histories. He is the founding president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Montreal.
