San Francisco: Newspapers Online, August 15

Our genealogy societies count many accomplished researchers among the members. During 2010, the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society (SFBAJGS) is focusing on the knowledge of its members.

Janice M. Sellers will address "Newspapers Online" at the next meeting of the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society, on Sunday, August 15.

The event begins at 12.30pm, at the Oakland Family History Center, and the program begins at 1pm.

Millions of pages of the world's newspapers are now digitally accessible online, but there is no one place to find them all.

Janice will give an overview of what's available and teach some tricks and tips to find "needle in the haystack" ancestors.

An editor and professional genealogist who specializes in Jewish records, she is the publicity director for the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society and managing editor of the quarterly The Galitzianer. Janice has also been on the Oakland Family History Center staff for 10 years.
