British Jewry

British Jews

These pages contain information on British geography, plus living and working in Britain for Jews.

Not all our members are based in the United Kingdom. Places can be hard to locate and it is often difficult to find out where to go to get basic information about Jewish records.

The following pages are designed to help you learn more about British Towns, Cities and Counties. There are links to other sites which will help you locate the items you want.

Why they chose to come to Britain and what they did when they got here are also covered.
