Difference between revisions of "Jewish Dynasties"

This site features links to Intriguing Jewish personalities, Prominent Rabbis, Torah Luminaries, Sages, Hasidic and illustrious Rabbinic lineages.

NOTE:

• If a link is not working access MM and use the "search" box to quickly reach profile. Or,
• Email MM to repair broken link, as well as to add other notable profiles if you have a problem adding them.
• "Main Copy" refers to the fact that the linked profile is probably merged into Geni's One World Big Tree.

Bible Figures

These Bible personalities are listed ONLY for reference! Please do NOT merge with these profiles. Instead try and find the most recent famous person in your tree and merge with those. This is because merging directly with a Bible Figure, creates needless work for yourself and whoever has to then merge the 90 intervening generations from them. These older lines are almost certainly ALREADY in the tree!

As I happened to start the biblical merge with some tree entered by non-Jews, most of the profiles are managed by them. Please contact Shmuel Aharon Kam regarding any questions about these lines.
