See You in the New Year!
We hope everyone has enjoyed your summer. We will resume our Research Group Meetings, but not until October, and we will announce our 2026-27 Meeting Dates as soon as they are approved. During our program year we meet monthly, always on a Sunday morning from 10:30 am. - 12:30 pm. in the Computer Lab A at Alvin Sherman Library, Nova Southeastern University, 3100 Ray Ferraro Jr. Blvd. Ft. Lauderdale (Davie) FL 33314. We usually have our first meeting of the season in September, but sometimes the Jewish holidays collide with our schedules, so we will see you in the New Year!
Computer Lab A is on the second floor, but if you want to do some research before our group resumes, please visit the Genealogy Collection on the 4th Floor. The collection has over 3,000 genealogy books and periodicals and includes part of our JGSBC collection, which we added to the generous book donation of the Genealogical Society of Broward County. So there are quite a few relevant Jewish research books & titles. The library is open to the public and any Broward County resident, or anyone employed in Broward County can receive a library card, entitled one access to a great number of databases. If you have questions, please ask a librarian - they love to help!
Alvin Sherman Library Hours: The library is open for an astounding 100 hours each week from 7:30 am - 11:00 pm Monday - Thursday; 7:30 am - 9 pm Friday; 8 am - 8 pm Saturday, and 11:00 am - 11:30 pm Sunday. We are very grateful to the library for providing us the facilities for our meetings.

If you'd like to submit an article or story of interest to Jewish genealogists for possible inclusion in Family Gatherings, please contact newsletter@jgsbc.org.
Hitting a Brick Wall?
OR, do you want to share a breakthrough? We're here to help. Member volunteers with a broad range of understanding and experience are available for consultation the first 30 minutes of every JGSBC monthly meeting. If you've had research success, please share your methodology with our group. Your experience may help someone else!
