Overview

Mission

The LDor VDor Foundation supports research, development, education, and awareness projects that advance ancestral discovery for anyone with interest in Jewish family history and heritage. The LDVDF identifies, designs, operationalizes, and supports substantive projects that enable ancestral and descendant discovery, strengthen Jewish self-knowledge, identity, connection, and community. We are educating people of Jewish descent in their family history and heritage and how to research the same.

What it reported doing in 2025

Research and development to build JCat, the word's most comprehensive catalog of historic documents of Jewish lives. Work conducted by volunteers. Survey work conducted in Australia, Venezuela, Netherlands, US, and Canada. JCat now holds 10334 searchable entries for ancestral research. The Weekly News Nosh, a digest of Jewish history and heritage news items, is distributed via social media and email. Launched JDays, the first calendar of Jewish heritage, history, and family history events. Artificial Intelligence (AI) models trained to read historical handwritten documents in Russian, Polish, Yiddish, Hebrew, Arabic, and Ladino. Model improvements continue. Three Yiddish AI HTR models published for use by the public. Developed AI layout models for formatted records. Developed the Ask Rosenberg application... five steps in five minutes to ancestral discovery and showcased it at major Jewish community events. Developed the PastPort app - an AI-enabled advanced prototype for map-based ancestral discovery.
