My second thought was the *JewishGen* genealogy webpages. Their home page is at http://www.jewishgen.org/ You can ask students to trace the genealogy of their own family, if possible, Otherwise, to obtain data about the hometowns of their parents or grandparents. A few of my own webpages may be of value. For example: *AncientSounds.docx *enables students to detect cognates based on the ancient sounds of some Hebrew consonants. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Hebrew/AncientSounds.docx *Het_W_parallels.docx *shows that het most often appears in English as a *W* https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Hebrew/het_W_parallels.docx Lists of possible cognates can be viewed at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Hebrew/ETYA.DOC https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Hebrew/ETYD.DOC https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Hebrew/ETYI.DOC https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Hebrew/ETYN.DOC https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Hebrew/ETYS.DOC https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Hebrew/ETYT.DOC *Idiom_Formation_via_Transliteration *describes 4 patterns of idiom formation. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Hebrew/Idiom_Formation_via_Transliteration.docx *Idioms.doc *provides additional examples of idioms formed via transliteration. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Hebrew/Idioms.doc The English equivalents of Phoenician (almost Hebrew) body part terms are listed in *BodyPartList_3.doc *at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/Body_Part_Maps/BodyPartList_3.doc This webpage illustrates correspondences between human anatomy and toponyms on maps of West Asia and North Africa. The juxtaposition of these two maps is too risque for younger students. By contrast, on similar Amerindian maps, the male and female bodies are always a discrete / discreet distance apart.
