Malka*** is a pioneer and expert on Sephardic genealogy. This week on Sephardic World he discusses the Malka family history, the subject of a new book. The family story starts in the tumultuous 13th and 14th Centuries in Aragon, Catalonia, and Navarra. It continues with the family's time in Morocco and follows the author's own branch in colonial British East Africa (Sudan), Switzerland, and the United States. Only a handful of Jewish families have such a long recorded family history.***Jeff Malka*** needs no introduction to Sephardic genealogists. Through his Sephardic Genealogy book and sephardicgen.org website, and with Mathilde Tagger z”l, he created the modern field of Sephardic genealogy. His first book received the Judaica Reference Book of the Year Award in 2002. In 2012 he received the IAJGS's Lifetime Achievement award. The website, whose content is now also available through JewishGen, now contains over 146,000 records. Jeff Malka is a retired orthopedic surgeon.
