ABOUT ME
Mattan Segev-Frank,
Historian, Genealogist & Storyteller
With a passion for uncovering the hidden stories of the past, I’ve dedicated over 17 years to Jewish genealogy, transforming a simple curiosity into a profession that spans generations and continents. My journey through my own Genealogical Jungle began in 2007, and today, I proudly maintain a comprehensive family database containing over 73,000 individuals, primarily focusing on the genealogies of the Jewish communities throughout Central Europe.
I hold a BFA in Film and Television and an MA in Jewish History from Tel Aviv University, where I graduated with honors, specializing in Jewish history and genealogy of the former Austrian-Hungarian Empire.

“Almost a decade ago, I met Mattan Segev-Frank without any prior acquaintance. In his genealogical research, Mattan discovered that my family descends from one of the dynasties central to his family research and wanted to explain the connections. Before we met, I “knew” that my family originated from Romania and Hungary. Mattan’s research revealed to us a lineage that expanded to Slovakia and Ukraine over 250 years.
Our meeting sparked a great curiosity about my family history, and we decided — my cousin and I — to embark on a heritage journey into our own Genealogy Jungle, tracing our roots and hired Mattan to be our guide for Central Europe. Undoubtedly, Mattan’s knowledge about Central and Eastern European Jewry is immense. Thanks to him, we managed to visit ancestors’ graves in Slovakia that go six generations back!
In addition to his knowledge, Mattan is a person who easily endears himself to people, does everything wholeheartedly, and always with a positive spirit. I returned from our journey with a deep understanding of my family's migrations over eight generations, and for this unique experience, all the thanks go to Mattan.”
