The Northeast Indiana Jewish Genealogy Society is planning a virtual “Meet Your Mishpocha” event for Sunday, October 18, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. Designed to help people connect with their Jewish roots, the event will feature advice on digitizing photographs and starting your family history. Directors of the Jewish community’s Oral History Video Project and the Indiana Jewish Historical Society will also be on hand to answer questions. And we’ll offer virtual tours of the Society’s Fort Wayne Jewish Families Database, which has grown to include over 6,000 past and present members of the Northeast Indiana Jewish community. Door prizes available to attendees include a free DNA kit!

Registration is required to attend the event, and the link can be found on our website at https://neindianajgs.org/upcoming-events/. Thanks to the Dr. Harry W. Salon Foundation and the Louis and Anne B. Schneider Foundation for their support.

Please mark your calendar and plan to join us for an afternoon of Jewish genealogy!
