I wanted to announce a new book I just published.The title is:Eight Centuries of a Sephardic Family: The Malka Family 1282 - 2022.292 pages, 164 illustrations, 336 footnotes.Available on Amazon.I originally wrote this book only for my own family but thought to make it available on Amazon because it might be useful to others researching their own families and seeing what can be done in Sephardic genealogy research.Book descriptionIt is rare that a consistently hereditary and unchanged Jewish surname can be traced through archival records for eight centuries. Malka is one of the very few such old names. This what the award winning Jeffrey Malka describes in this profusely documented and illustrated book. Using archival and other records, Dr Jeffrey Malka summarizes some of his extensive research on the Malka family.The book begins during the tumultuous 13th and 14th centuries in Aragon, Catalonia, and Navarra, where numerous records are found of Malka families in various occupations. The book then 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. It contains brief histories of Jewish life in Spain and Morocco as well biographies and vignettes of the author's childhood in Africa, medical school in Switzerland, a stint in a US military hospital in Japan during the Vietnam war, and finally life in America.Author BiographyDr. Jeffrey S. Malka is the author of 'Sephardic Genealogy: Discovering your Sephardic Ancestors and their World', the first edition of which was awarded the '2002 Reference Book of the Year' Award by the Association of Jewish Libraries.Malka was an invited lecturer at the Library of Congress, IAJGS conferences, as well as genealogy societies in the U.S., Canada, Israel, Turkey, and Spain.Prior to retiring in 2000, Dr. Malka was an Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Georgetown University and Chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Inova Fairfax Hospital, a tertiary care teaching hospital in Virginia.I am attaching the table of contents which gives a better idea of the book contents.https://www.SephardicGen.com/Contents.docJeff Malka, M.D."Sephardic Genealogy", 2nd ed., AvotaynuWebsite: https://www.SephardicGen.comMalka website: https://sephardicgen.com/MalkaFamilyWeb/Malka_family.html
