Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois in person meeting

Breaking Brick Walls Together” will be the focus of the Sunday, April 19, 2026, Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois in person meeting at Temple Beth-El, 3610 Dundee Road, Northbrook, Illinois. Bring your successes as well as your brick walls. Be ready to help your fellow genealogists with your positive experiences and ideas, while asking questions of your fellow JGSI family historians who might be able to help find answers to your brick wall quandaries. This gathering will also feature a book giveaway: We will be giving away books on a variety of topics from the JGSI library as we streamline it to be a more focused reference collection. You’ll find local and general Jewish histories, biographies, genealogy handbooks, and more.
