Harry Steins website, SEPHARDIM.COM, has been for a long time one of the major websites for Sephardic genealogy on the Internet. Among its many offerings it contained a unique section on Sephardic herardlry and a list of Sephardic surnames that he patiently extracted from a large number of published books. Connected to the website was also arguably the most popular and active forum on Sephardic genealogy on the web.

The disappearance of Sephardic.com is a great loss to Sephardic genealogy on the Internet. In tribute to Harry Steinthis this site detials his name list and work.
