The objective of the Gombin Jewish Historical & Genealogical Society is to preserve the legacy of Jewish life and culture in Gombin (Gąbin in Polish), Poland- the town of our ancestors. We will preserve the record of our families’ lives, roots and genealogy so that the history of 300 years of Jewish life in Gombin will not have been destroyed by the Holocaust. This preserved record will be used to educate current Gąbiner residents, descendants living all over the world and future generations..

Dziękuję za zdjęcie i opis , proszę o więcej zdjęć i wiadomości na temat Żydów w Gąbinie,🌹
Hi Anita Do we share the same great grandfather?
I would be interested to see copies of the photos if that is possible. Do you have any of their names?
I think so. Remind me who your grandfather was. My grandfather was Jacob the oldest of 5 brothers. He remained in Gombin.
Perhaps someone can help me: my great grandfather was Simon Levy who in the UK Census records listed his birthplace as Combin and date of birth 1866. His tombstone gives his name as Alexander ben Aron Velvel. Perhaps Alexander was referred to as Sender in Yiddish and that is how he angicised his name to Simon? His wife was named Leah who was also born in Poland. How can i find his Gabin records? thanks for your help.
