Toronto Jewish Families History Project – Goldenberg Scrolls (MyHeritage)
The Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto, in partnership with MyHeritage, has created a searchable on-line database of more than 2,700 names taken from the family trees recorded by the late Toronto physician, Dr. Henry Goldenberg.
The Goldenberg scrolls were the first component of our Toronto Jewish Family History Project. Many years ago, during the mid 1900’s, the late Dr. Henry Goldenberg (1918-2001), a highly respected physician in Toronto, asked many of his Galician-born patients about their family histories and sketched out their family trees on long sheets of paper from his medical office.
Our project is based on the hypothesis that many of the early Jewish families in Toronto were related and that they form the backbone of that community. One of our primary aims is to make available important sources of genealogical information to further our knowledge of the genealogical and historical roots of Toronto Jewry. The main years of our study are from 1890 to the present as we find descendants of our original residents and demonstrate their growth in the community, the continent, and around the world.
