Illinois. Her presentation will begin at 2 p.m. at Temple Beth-El, 3610
Dundee Road, Northbrook, Ill.

The JGSI meeting facilities at Temple Beth-El will open at 12:30 p.m. to
accommodate those who want to use or borrow genealogy library materials,
get help with genealogy websites or ask genealogical questions before
the main program begins at 2 p.m. For more information, visit

In her presentation, Debbie will guide us through the Jewishgen.org
maze, explaining the structure and purpose of the many components of the
website. Her presentation will provide details that will help researchers
glean as much information as possible on their families and towns.

p.m. at each regular monthly meeting. This event is free and open to the
