Family Who’s Who (1969)

About this data base: The Hebrew University of Jerusalem published the first volume of Family Who’s Who in 1969 as a way to honour Canadian (and a few South American) donors to the University. The entries are arranged alphabetically and a large majority of them include extensive genealogical information. Chairpersons of the project were Allan Bronfman in Montreal and Samuel Rothberg of Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Hebrew University published a smaller second volume of Family Who’s Who in 1976, updating and enhancing the genealogical information from the first volume. It is planned that both volumes will be searchable here. Eventually we hope to include all of the very valuable genealogical Extended Entries (“Forbears” and “Progeny”) shown in the original two volumes.

We are grateful for the excellent and continuing work of Lea Shime who has been keyboarding and proofing all the entries for this indexing project.

Note: The entire contents of Volume 1 from 1969 have now been indexed. (Jan 2023). Volume II (1976) is currently in the works. Reference nos. beginning with a “0” are from the first volume (1969) whereas reference nos. beginning with a “1” are from the second volume (1976).

Tip: Here’s a useful way to browse through the index, page by page. Put in page number below for list of all names on a page. Volume 1 page numbers start with 0001 and go to 0820. Volume 2 page numbers start with 1001 and go to 1493 (more to be added). Increase number incrementally to look at range of pages.

A maximum of 48 results will be shown.
