His research demonstrated that this medical probl em was in fact a genetic issue due to the beta thalassemia trait – never b efore seen in Ashkenazi Jews. He created a searchable database (Jewish Rec ords-Indexing-Poland) to help trace family roots\; this genealogical resou rce is now approaching 6 million names from more than 550 towns in Poland. Dr. Diamond’s work has been honoured as a model for other genealogical in dexing projects and it is internationally recognized as a major advance in the search for family histories. He is the founding president of the Jewi sh Genealogical Society of Montreal.
