What's New? Gary Mokotoff, Editor Volume 13, Number 18a | April 26, 2012 Every
government puts value on preserving its history. That is why we have
national archives. Genealogy preserves history; the history of a
family. It cannot be done without access to records, just as historians
cannot preserve a nation's history without access to records. It is a
greater good than the right to privacy. It is a greater good than the
risk of identity theft.

2015 Conference To Be in Israel  Coinciding
with today, Israel Independence Day, Michael Goldstein, president of
the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies has
announced that the 35th IAJGS International Conference on Jewish
Genealogy will be held in Jerusalem, Israel, in 2015. The host will be
IAJGS. Harvey Krueger, long-time friend of Jewish genealogy, will be
honorary chairman of the conference. Since 1984, the IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy has been held in Israel about once every ten years. Israel is one of the better venues for the annual conference because of its incredible resources for Jewish genealogical research. This will become evident as more particulars are provided about the gathering. Previous IAJGS conferences were held in Israel in 1984, 1994 and 2004. The 2012 conference is in Paris, July 15–18. The 2013 conference will be in Boston. |
