The purpose of this letter is to endorse the work of Banai Feldstein. Banai has assisted me over the last few years in researching my family. While I have worked with a few other well qualified genealogists, none have been as resourceful, efficient and as easy to work with as Banai. I can recommend her to anyone who wishes to do Jewish genealogical work without any hesitation. She has really done amazing work for me. Here are some of her key accomplishments:
- Found one branch of my family located in Plonsk and Raciaz Poland and was able to go back to the 18th century to locate the father, grandfather and great grandfather of my father’s maternal grandfather as well as their siblings using the JRI-Poland database and the Mormon resources. The records were in Russian and Polish and some had not even been indexed.
- Search the un-indexed Russian records of the village of Priluki (Ukraine) which is the town where my mother’s maternal grandmother was born. Banai was able to find many records of my family including the father and mother of my great grandmother as well as various siblings.
- Banai used the San Francisco voter list to locate the naturalization records of my father’s paternal grandfather which resulted in finding the location of the village in Poland where he was born.
- On many occasions I have asked Banai for her advice or views on information that I have found. I believe she has great instincts and is wonderful at working out the puzzles one often finds in doing genealogy work. She is very resourceful, knowledgeable and very easy to work with.
Yours truly,
Avram Miller
