ARE YOU GETTING THE
MOST FROM JEWISHGEN RESOURCES?
The Jewish
Genealogical Society of Connecticut presents Nolan Altman, former Vice
President for Data Acquisition at Jewishgen, www.jewishgen.org, and
current President of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Long Island, who will
explain the many valuable databases hosted at Jewishgen, online affiliate of
The Museum of Jewish Heritage. Altman worked with volunteers from around the
world to build an extensive catalog of data for use by genealogists
worldwide, including Holocaust data, vital records from the Russian Empire,
and Jewishgen Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR). Any person with
an interest in Jewish genealogy will benefit from knowledge of these
extensive records and how to use them to advance their personal research.
Watch as Altman
navigates through JewishGen’s webpages while offering some tips on database
searching. He will also highlight underused yet powerful databases
available for you to take advantage of in your personal research.
Jewish Genealogical
Society of Connecticut Board Members have contributed over 7000 gravestone
photos to JOWBR.
The meeting will be
held on Sunday, April 21, 2013 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm at Godfrey Memorial
Library, 134 Newfield Street, Middletown, CT 06457.
The meeting is free
and open to all.
