ANNOUNCEMENTS
We've just installed a
scanner on one workstation in our Library. See the Librarian for
assistance.
The JGSGW
Genealogy Library
contains the complete set of lectures from the 31st IAJGS Conference on
Jewish Genealogy, as well as hundreds of lectures from JGSGW meetings and IAJGS conferences over the past decades. Visit the library and ask the
librarian for the title, speaker or subject that you are interested in
and then sit at one of the 12 computers using headphones to listen to the
lecture.
Research tip: The Oakton, VA, LDS Family
History Center has a comprehensive set of the New York vital records
index microfilms. These indexes are the first step to
obtaining images from the records microfilms. Contact the
for more information.

The
6th Edition
of
“Capital
Collections: Resources for Jewish Genealogical Research in the
Washington, DC Area” is
now available. This edition was updated with information for DC2011 IAJGS
Conference attendees.
The regional conferences page
was updated with dates for seven
conferences in March - May 2011. These conferences are annual
events, and future conferences are usually held in the same general
timeframe. We will update the dates for 2012 as we receive more
information.
Many back issues of Mishpacha, our quarterly newsletter, are now
available online. See the Mishpacha page
for more information. Four 2002-2003 issues were recently
scanned and added to the archive.
