About Me


My name is Philip Trauring. I’ve been researching my family tree for somewhere over 20 years, and have been working in various high-tech jobs about the same time.

Since 2010 I’ve been blogging about Jewish genealogy at B&F: Jewish Genealogy and More. I also volunteer with the Israel Genealogy Research Association, and help run their web site.

This blog is both an attempt to document my goal of creating a name dictionary, and to publish my more technical work related to genealogy.

If you have questions about anything on this site, either write a comment on specific post, or contact me directly.
