There are two sorts of names on your Yichus Tree: verified and unverified. Furthermore, there is a difference between regular people and those who are considered gedolim, tzaddikim and well-known personalities.
Bnei Bonim possesses a database of names that are all thoroughly vetted, researched and verified by Mechon Yochsin and other respected figures in this field. Our experts also comb through the names and data in our own system to select those that are reliably confirmed to be accurate.
To cover the increased costs incurred by the research work.
It should be noted though that unverified names are generally accurate as well, but due to the historical inaccuracies in some of the earlier yichus archives, it is well worth it to ensure that all information is verified.
No. It will only be considered verified for your own family tree, but not for others, unless we have personally verified it.
Even names that are verified may see their status change when new facts or information become available that indicate some uncertainty. Please review our policy page for more on this.
Important: once a name is verified and paid for, we are unable to offer refunds later on.
