Russian Special Interest Group


JGSGP sponsors ancillary group meetings and activities which meet the specific needs of many members. The Russian Special Interest Group is comprised of JGSGP members who wish to research their ancestors who lived in territories once governed by Czarist Russia. Meetings of this group are held four times a year at convenient locations in the Delaware Valley. Often, these meetings are addressed by speakers who discuss the various aspects of researching Jewish ancestors who resided in lands owned by Russia. For a schedule of upcoming meetings, please refer to the JGSGP Calendar of Events. For more information, contact RIG Coordinator, David Brill.

 

The January 2008 meeting was on the subject ROUTES OUT OF RUSSIA. To view the presentation by David Brill, click HERE.
