    Thank you everyone for your answers.

    I am familiar with the non-Jewish genealogy websites. There are pro’s and con’s about them all, and Mormons do sketchy things with the genealogical information they gather. I am not very interested in doing the research myself. And I feel a Jewish researcher would know what to look for better. I am also not interested in the DNA testing, as I don’t really want to give my DNA information over to a corporation, and that doesn’t really help anyway. My cousin took one already and he got 99% ashkenazi and 1% persian.

    Part of our problem is that the mesorah in our family was lost about what towns our family was from, and any geneaological information as well. I know one or two towns we lived in before the War, but I think they migrated to the city from somewhere else. That’s what I’d like a researcher to find out.

    Yichus is just interesting to know, if theres any to have at all. Of course, yichus is a bunch of zeros, it is up to you to make a 1. only then does yichus go from being 0000 to 10000.
