Program: October 22, 2017,
JGS of Illinois meeting at Temple Beth-El
3610 Dundee Road, Northbrook, Ill.
Bena Shklyanoy to share her family history with the Jewish Genealogical Society:
“Apple Does Not Fall: Shtetl Cousins Meet Iron-Curtain Cousins” will be the topic of a presentation by family historian Bena Shklyanoy, an immigrant from the Soviet Union. Her presentation will begin at 2 p.m.
At each regular JGSI monthly meeting, its “help desk” will operate from 12:30 to 1:45 p.m. Member volunteers will access online databases and answer genealogical questions one-on-one for members and visitors as time allows.
The JGSI library has more than 800 volumes of interest to Jewish family historians. Many are available for borrowing by JGSI members for a limited time. All are available for perusing from 12:30 to 1:45 p.m. at each regular monthly meeting.
We conduct monthly meetings with speakers on a wide range of topics. We provide access to research materials in our library, publish a newsletter - Morasha - maintain an online searchable death index.
