                        The Program:

Visiting Your Ancestral Shtetl/Kahila/Towns 

 One of most poignant and significant activities in genealogy is visiting your ancestral shtetl/kahila/town. JGSCV members and friends who have made trips to their ancestral towns will talk on what they did, how they prepared and what they learned. Thus far, we have speakers on Belarus, Germany, Lithuania, Poland and Wales. If you have visited your ancestral town and would like to share the experience please let us know – president@jgscv.org  depending on the number of participants- every one can have up to 15 minutes to present. If you are planning to attend the IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy in Paris this July, this program may be of assistance if you plan to also visit your ancestral towns.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County is dedicated to sharing genealogical information, techniques, and research tools with anyone interested in Jewish genealogy and family history. There is no charge to attend the meeting. Anyone may join JGSCV.
