About Me



Smadar is a genealogy consultant specializing in Jewish Genealogy. Together with her partner Dani Inbar, she offer professional genealogy research services to clients from around the world. 

Our genealogical services include (among others):

  • Search and location of living relatives
  • Identifying living heirs
  • Expert witness services (in estate cases)

Smadar hold a certificate from Boston University Genealogy Research Program. She is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogist, New England Historical Society and the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Boston.

Smadar's genealogy journey began 8 years ago, when together with her oldest son, she started a family tree on MyHeritage.com. Little did she know that this tree would change her life. The bare branches of the tree made her realize how little she knew about her roots. As she began to explore her family history, she discovered that the more she learned, there more questions arose. Embarking on the genealogy voyage, transformed her life. As small part of her family research was published in the memoir: Stored Treasures

Smadar was born in Cfar Saba, Israel and moved to the Boston area at the age of thirteen. Before she dedicated herself to genealogy, her life took an unusual path. She studied biology at Brandeis University then medicine at the University of Massachusetts, but left my medical career, choosing to raise a family with her husband in Cuernavaca, Mexico. In Mexico she became involved with many entrepreneurial endeavors. Currently she resides back in the Boston area and is the proud mother of three sons.

  4. Hi, I came across your blog from March 2013 On "Fearless Females" and have a question regarding the Mexican Immigration Document. How or Where can a person search for/order a copy of these documents? I am searching for my Mennonite ancestors that immigrated in the 1920's.

    1. Hi, the Mexican Immigration document you mentioned was in the hands of the family. I suggest you contact Mexican Immigration to learn if you can obtain copies of your family's immigration papers. Best of luck, Smadar
