Milavetz/Shattil/Cohn Family in Covert, Michigan, 1900s 

Hello Cousin! Yes, if we go back about 50 generations, we are all related.  The purpose of this page is to someday prove that you and I are related.  I would be grateful for any details passed on to me regarding your Family Web Page site and I'll be pleased to act as host for publishing a link to your site.

Family to Family; Generation to Generation
  

Is Someone Looking For You?

Now, more than ever, web pages are popping up on the Internet every day and many offer a possible connection to your family.  All you need do, is search any and all of those listed below.  Somewhere the odds are good that you will find a connection. 

When you develop your own family web page, let me know so you can increase your odds.  Send an email to JWebindex@gmail.com  and I'll add your family page to this list.

As soon as you start researching your family tree, sit down and take the time to chat one-on-one with as many members of the oldest generation as possible.  Nothing can substitute for their lifetime of family information, so seek out opportunities to listen to their stories as often as possible.  If you are geographically separated, give them a call or write them a letter asking as specifically as you can, everything you want to know about.  Remember that even when short-term memories may be failing, often long-term memories of childhood and grandparents are as vivid as if the events occurred yesterday.  Best is to video or tape record the conversations.

"The purpose of any family genealogy is to trace out as far as possible, the connections that bind us together as family"

Photography - saving pictures from family reunions, etc. has never been easier.  Try Shutterfly.  Here is a special offer from this fine company for my readers.

"Print on Demand" is a good way for producing a  family history book:  you set up the entire book on a computer (with the  help of a cyber-savvy teenager), send it to the publisher, and order as many  copies as you want for yourself or to give away, offering the opportunity to  anyone in your more distant family to order a copy directly, at cost, from the  publisher or from a bookseller.

In my experience, a good PoD publisher  will produce a very high quality job, clear text, firm and attractive binding,  full-color glossy cover. The price is very reasonable. Updating is easy --  just submit an updated version and within a few days, the new version is ready  to roll off the press. Copies can be made available to purchasers through all  regular bookstores and through the major online vendors.

I've just been  informed that one PoD publisher/producer, Lightning Source Inc., which is a  division of Ingram, the major American book distributor, 800-378-5508, is starting to  produce books in full color.
www.lightningsource.com   

Full disclosure: I recently republished a  book through Lightning Source. I get no benefit from this posting. It is  possible that when I complete (hah!) my family tree I may have it published in  full color. When I reach that stage." From a posting by Michael Bernet

Hakim Family - the Ha-Levy (Hakim) family was considered an honored family among the Jews expelled from Spain.  Later on, when they received the honorary title Hakim from the Sultan, they became the Ha-Levy Hakim family.  It appears that at some point in time, the name Levy was dropped and the family became known as Hakim.  But passing on from generation to generation that we come from the levy family.  The family adjusted well to life under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.  They lived in Egypt, Salonika (Greece), Menissa (Turkey), where Rabbi Yosef Yehuda Hakim served as Chief rabbi.  In 1868 he was appointed by the Sultan Abdul Aziz to be the Chief Rabbi of Smyrna (Izmir) Turkey, where the preceding Chief Rabbi was Hayim Palatchi, who served in this capacity for many years, until his death.  Contact The Hakims at quest@webstazy.com
