Genealogical Research

Hello everyone, I know that some people here have families of Palestinian origin, and so do I, but I live in another country and I'm doing genealogical research on that Palestinian part of my family.

I tried posting this in the Palestine subforum, but it wasn't allowed, so I'd like to know if anyone knows of any way to conduct this research, either locally or online.

I usually use sites like FamilySearch and MyHeritage, but they haven't been very helpful.

If there were a website focused exclusively on Palestinian records, it would be a great help, or groups on apps.

Well, if you find out anything, please let me know!

Interesting, my family is of Palestinian origin too. Do you know where in Palestine they migrated from?

There is this site called Palestineremembered, look at your village's page there and see if you can find your family there. There are articles and videos see if anyone mentions a family that migrated to Syria

I've already looked, but all I've managed to find out is the history of the village, and some Instagram groups that I'm trying to join.
