About 37 issues of the quarterly "Research of the Jewish family"; a periodical for genealogy and family-trees. The periodical was published in Germany between the years 1924-1938. The editor, Arthur Czellitzer, a Jewish ophthalmologist, founded the first society for research of Jewish genealogy. Arthur Czellitzer writes in the introduction to the first issue what the main aims of the society are, "since the Jewish people, at this stage, have no state nor a language of their own, the information about the family history will contribute to bring them closer to their original roots". The periodical included a section which presented the members' questions about genealogy and the answers by readers were published in the following issue. Czellitzer fled to Holland with his archive but was captured by the Nazis and murdered in Sobibor extermination camp in 1943.
