What is your greatest discovery so far?

What is your most annoying mis-transcription suffered?

What is your funniest mis-transcription enjoyed?

What are your most helpful search tips that found that elusive ancestor?

We invite members to feed back your thoughts and feelings about the 1921 census experience so far.

In order to keep things moving, please send any parts of images you would like to be displayed as you tell us to chairman@jgsgb.org.uk beforehand. These can be accepted during the meeting too if you want to keep me on my toes!

Jewish Religious Life in Poland since 1750 - Conference 11 Jan 2021

ONE-DAY ONLINE CONFERENCE TO LAUNCH VOLUME 33 OF POLIN: STUDIES IN POLISH JEWRY Jewish Religious Life in Poland since 1750 Published by the Littman Library of Jewish Civilization/Liverpool University Press Monday January 11th 2021 10am-3.30pm Organised by the Institute for Polish-Jewish Studies and the Institute of Jewish Studies, UCL with JW3 London.

Free online history festival: Jewish life in small communities 15–25 March

From Hilary Thomas: "Connecting Small Histories” takes the bold step of drawing the footprint of Jewish life in what are now small or former communities across the United Kingdom. Through stories and memories, we identify the Jewish legacy in the local economies and culture, beginning with six very different locations, Eastbourne, St Annes, Bradford, Sunderland, Cumbria and Somerset. After almost twelve months of work, our History Festival begins the telling of these “Small Histories”, bringing both them and a wide selection of projects from our Heritage Hub to a wider public. Over a series of daytime and evening events, our programme brings together storytellers, academics, Jewish heritage project teams, and volunteers to paint a picture of Jewish life and heritage spread wide across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. We are inviting you to join us! Simply, click here to view the festival programme and to register your attendance. Best wishes, The Connecting Small Histories...
