...and do count your offspring ...

Welcome to the Moises Ville Genealogy Site.  

This is an investigation into the families who settled in Moises Ville since its beginning. Our purpose is to rescue from oblivion and anonymity those who initiated Jewish agricultural colonization in Argentina, as well as those who came after them who undertook the task of making the land fruitful. The purpose of this work is to establish a bond between their descendants and the history of their ancestors’ sacrifices. No matter where they are, they can  recognize and learn about themselves or their ancestors from this site.

These pages include historical data, maps and pictures, some of which have never been published before. They are included in order to show different aspects of the history of Moises Ville that has too often been ignored by historians. In this work we have tried to emphasize the names of the settlers, important dates for each one, the places where they were born, how and when they arrived in Argentina, where they lived, when and where they got married, who were o are their descendants and relatives, and where they live today.

So far we have included information about 250 families from Moises Ville, Las Palmeras, Monigotes, Palacios and Virginia, all of whom arrived there between 1889-1905, and a database of about 23,000 people. We have built a great family, since they are all linked through family bonds in one way or another. Most are descendants or relatives of the colonists, since gathering information about them and their families and their arrival in Argentina has been relatively easy. Other families, those of the merchants and artisans, will be included in the future. 

There is a lot left to do. Many families have to be added, and additional information about the families already incorporated must to be added. One of the aims of this website is to reach those who can contribute more data.

This work has been developed by myself and without any kind of financial support. I intend to continue this investigation, making use of both contacts already established and others that will surely present themselves. We are still doing research and we hope to process and publish more material as it becomes available.

The level of support and interest that this site generates, will determine the pace and extent of its growth.
