No registration is required for the free sessions. The first is set for 6-8pm on September 21, at the NEHGS, 99-101 Newbury Street, Boston. It appears that the sessions will be held at the American Jewish Historical Society (AJHS), New England Archives, located on the fifth floor of the NEHGS. The AJHS archival materials are available to researchers - no fee for access.
Interested in researching your Jewish genealogy? Have questions or don’t know where to start?
The NEHGS is open on Wednesday evenings, when JGSGB members are available to help new and experienced researchers look into their family histories, answer questions, assist with brick walls and provide resource information. Twice each month, experienced genealogists will be at the AJHS reference desk. No appointment is necessary.
For more information, contact Judi Garner at the AJHS.
See the JGSGB website for additional news and upcoming meetings.
For those who really like to plan ahead, note that the JGSGB will co-host, with IAJGS, the 2013 conference - the 33rd IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy - from 4-9 August 2013 at the Park Plaza Hotel in Boston.
Happy blogoversary :)
ReplyDeleteSearching a Jewish genealogy and family history may be a complicated starting, since this is one of the most ancient civilizations in the record of the world! However, those who are lucky enough to discover their Jewish origins are sure to discover a wealthy tapestry of lifestyle and record along the way.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea I'd be hooked on genealogy until, at the ripe old age of 53, I discovered I was Jewish. Then I discovered a half dozen family photo albums, and the rest is history.
