It was very helpful to find neighbors and relatives and kind of a thrill to see my family members named.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. A good book of Memphis Jewish history.By Eddie Lazarus(elaz6636@aol.comA well written and researched book of Memphis Jewish history especially if you live in or around Memphis and the Mid-South.The book sometimes gets out of chronological order as far history dates are concerned but it is still interesting and easy reading.There are a few typos but they don't interrupt the story line.All in all if you are from this area;as I am; you will find many names and places that have significant meaning.
