Singaporean family history

Jacklee, I see you're interested in family history and in Singapore, and I wonder if you could give me any tips. My maternal grandmother's family lived in Singapore at the end of the 19th century. They were Jewish and came there probably from Baghdad, circa 1850's. I have been trying to trace them there, but can find nothing in the records available on the internet. Do you know to whom I might be able to address inquiries in Singapore? Is there a sort of GRO there? Any help would be most appreciated. Nick Michael (talk) 19:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Nick. Your project sounds very interesting. Here are some suggestions:
  • If members of your grandmother's family died or were buried in Singapore, you might try applying to the Births and Deaths Unit of the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority to see if extracts from the Register of Deaths can be obtained. I believe applications can be made online. If a death certificate can be found, it will have information such as the cause of death and date and place of burial, which will provide leads for further inquiries to be made.
  • The National Archives of Singapore has a website called a2o (Access to Archives Online), where you can conduct online searches for records held there. It will help if you have an idea of what sort of records you are looking for (burial records and shipping lists, for instance).
  • Your ancestors may have attended services at one of the synagogues in Singapore, which might hold records that refer to them. You might try contacting the Jewish Welfare Board to see if they can provide any leads. Their contact details are as follows:
24/26 Waterloo Street
Singapore 187950
E-mail: jewishwb@singnet.com.sg
Website: http://www.singaporejews.org
Telephone: (65)6337 2189
Fax: (65)6336 2127
All the best for your research! Feel free to contact me by e-mail (click on the "E-mail this user" link) or through my talk page. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 22:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Very many thanks Jacklee, that's given me a lot of leads to go on; most kind of you! Nick
