Family Origin Certificate
You would like to know your roots? The researchers of "Am haZikaron" will make a special research for you!
Today a new unique service from Israel became accessible to every Jew worldwide - the receipt of a unique personal certificate for the name of your choice.
The certificate includes the description of the name's origin and the period when it appeared, the description of the way of migrations and the residence places of the family members during centuries of the family history, and all mentions of prominent members of the clan. Usually, the information provided is either completely, or partly, not known to the ordering person. Often this makes the certificate into an event that changes the person's view of his/her own family.
The certificate is beautifully designed, it includes a picture of ancient Israel, and it can be a nice decoration for any house.
There is a possibility to order in addition to the certificate also the conduction of a primary study of the family history. Once the certificate is ordered, a special research is initiated, within which a focused search for the information that has a direct relation to the history of your family is performed.
The results of this study are the information on the migrations of your relatives or about their evacuation, or about what happened to them during the years of the World War II, the excerpts speaking of relatives who changed the country of their residence (say, the USA) and other similar documents. Often the researchers succeed in building a model of family connections, that describe a certain period of the history of your family.
The certificate and the results of the study of the history of your family will be interesting to all members of the family. Uniting different generations of the family, the certificate is an excellent present for family celebrations and events, such as for example Bar or Bat Mitzva. Providing information which value is permanent, the certificate and the results of the study are a present that will keep for long time the family memory for anyone who received it.
The price of the primary study of the family history for one family line (including the certificate) is just 90 USD:
The organization that conducts the research and issues the certificates is the Israeli non-profitable Institute of Science and Heritage of the Jewish People "Am haZikaron" ("People of Memory"). This Institute exists since 1998, making a truly unique work in the area of knowledge of Jews. The Institute's studies are concentrated in the field of genealogy, while the main project of the Institute is the creation of the unified genealogy of the Jewish People and the restoration of the history of Jews on the personal and the family levels. The activity of the Institute received a positive response in the Israeli mass-media and also the letters of support from two presidents of Israel.
The research by "Am haZikaron" received a special medal and the prize "Zeitei Yerushalaim" for the contribution to the "national heritage of the Jewish People". To support the Institute's activity a special Endorsement Committee was created, which mission is to attract the public attention to the project. The Committee is comprised by 57 Nobel laureates from different countries and other prominent social figures.
