JEWISH GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF MONTREAL
in association with the Jewish Public Library
is pleased to announce as our guest speaker:
Yefim Kogan, JewishGen Bessarabia
SIG Leader and Coordinator
----------------
Bessarabia/Moldova had a population of about 230,000 Jews at the beginning
of the 20th century - its capital Kishinev was 50% Jewish. Jews had settled
in towns, villages, shtetlakh-small towns, agricultural colonies and farms
in the 19th century. There is a large collection of Vital Records
(birth, marriage, death) available, as well as Revision Lists (family records)
from the region. Every year more records and information are added.
Our speaker will explore the history of Jewish Bessarabia/Moldova,
as well as the genealogical information available in various places.
-------------------------
The meeting will be held on
Monday, May 30, 2016, at 7:30 pm
Gelber Conference Centre
