JEWISH GENEALOGICAL PERIODICALS A Source List Compiled by Jim Yarin and Warren Blatt for Masspocha Vol. II, No.1 (Winter 1993) (newsletter of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Boston). JGSGB's address is within the list, if someone should want to contact our group, and therefore need not be listed separately. These notes and list are copyrighted 1993 by Masspocha. Copyright 1993. Please include the above note with all copies of the JGS publication list. Following is a catalog of newsletters related to Jewish genealogy. A few deal with genealogy generally, not just Jewish genealogy, and are worth investigating. This list is far from complete. Why only in the past few months at least two new newsletters have begun publishing: Shemot (Great Britain) and the JGS of Rochester's newsletter. Congratulations, they both look great! Hopefully, by next year at this time, this list will not only be more accurate and complete, but maybe even a few more premier issues will premiere in the interim! Unless noted otherwise, all newsletters are quarterly; payments are to be made to the listed organization; the amounts are for a one year subscription. In nearly all cases, the subscription amount is considered the payment of dues for a non_local member; local subscribers or memberships will probably cost more. Overseas subscribers should expect to pay additional. Some information may not be current. Be prepared for changes Issues are available on microfiched by AJGS (same address as Avotaynu).
