It's All Relative: The time is now
Come join a Jewish genealogy society
A friend has been raving about her new-found passion - her pursuit of family history - and the group she has joined. To you, these people sound rather strange. They seem, says your enthusiastic friend, to spend holidays in cemeteries, sit for hours researching internet databases and take field trips to archives.
They dance wildly in institute aisles when they locate elusive evidence. Their summer social schedule is organized according to which city hosts the annual International Conference on Jewish Genealogy, a week of intensive family history workshops, lectures and seminars.
