The Jewish Genealogical Society, Inc. (JGS) was founded in New York in 1977, becoming the first of what are now over 80 such societies worldwide. In the years since its founding, the JGS membership has grown to more than 1,000, with members from both the New York metropolitan area as well as elsewhere in the U.S. and abroad. The JGS presents innovative programming and seminars over the years, including monthly meetings with guest lecturers from a variety of disciplines; field trips to cemeteries, libraries and archives and workshops.
JGS provides access to exclusive databases found no where else on the web. In addition, members receive special access to databases at Jewishdata.org, podcasts of previous lectures, and discounts at "Friends of Jewish Genealogical Society." |

Read All About It! Special Issue of Dorot!
The summer issue of Dorot is going to be devoted to the history of JGS, in honor of our 36th, double Chai, anniversary. Won't you share your JGS memories, experiences, and stories?
1980 JGS Members
Did you attend any of those early meetings in the 1970's and 1980's? Did you attend any of the early conferences in 1981, 1985, or 1992? Do you have any anecdotes about some of the early JGS'ers such as Rabbi Malcolm Stern or Steve Siegel? Please share those stories, anecdotes, and memories with us. They needn't be long, a few paragraphs will do.
(Send to info@jgsny.org by July 15.)
With your help, we will write the family history of JGS, Inc!
