How far could/should I go with my Jewish relatives?

Question

My 3xGreat Grandmother Fanny Isaacs (Isaacs-2189) was born probably in Whitechapel about 1818. By combining information from many sources I have managed to identify her parents and her siblings. I have added her parents (Hyam Isaacs (Isaacs-2191) and Catherine Levy (Levy-3430) to Wikitree, but I'm scared to go further without advice from a Jewish Roots specialist. Can someone please look and advise thanks?

Hi Sue,

My husband has Jewish ancestors that came as a complete surprise. I have found an organistation called Jewish Gen - the Global home of Jewish Genealogy, www.jewishgen.org.

This organisation was recommended by the Museum of Jewish History here in Sydney where I live. The museum does run some genealogy workshops which is helpful when you don't know where to start. You can join Jewish Gen if you wish. They also run classes (at a cost). You can email for general information at info@jewishgen.org or if you want help with genealogy email education@jewishgen.org

Regards

Ellen

Thanks Ellen, I've been meaning to visit the Jewish Genealogy group in Sydney. I was actually wondering whether I had enough information to add Fanny's siblings on Wikitree. Sue
