Jewish Genealogical Society of Oregon

New Year, New Ideas, New Info on your Family Tree

Program: JGSO's meeting is designed to get us all off to a good research start in 5770. First, some of our members who attended the conference in Philadelphia this summer will talk about the new resources that were announced and the presentations that they found most helpful and enlightening. Next, we will offer some unusual research tips that are simple, yet effective. Finally, we will try to break down some of the brick walls stalling your research.

We encourage you all to submit your research problems/dilemmas/questions to: Barbara.hershey@comcast.net, in advance. You may bring questions to the meeting, but having the questions in advance will provide more time for us to try and find answers.

When: September 15, 2009

Time: 6:30 pm doors open for schmoozing; program will start at 7:00 pm.
