Do you have a lot of genealogical material to share and want to put it
on the web, but don't know how? Have you waited for someone to create
a ShtetLinks site for your town, but no one has? Do it yourself!

If you have basic computer skills, that's all you need to start making
web pages. We will use a free, downloadable, simple-to-use web page
editor to create our pages so you don't have to buy expensive
software. This editor runs on both PCs (all versions of Windows) and
Macs (OS X 10.2 or later), so practically everyone will be able to use
it.

1) You must have basic computer skills such as knowing how to click on
hyperlinks and how to "copy and paste" text using a computer mouse,
etc.

2) You must be comfortable with using a web browser like Internet
Explorer or Safari, and with using a word processing program like
Microsoft Word or WordPerfect. You don't have to be an expert, just
someone who has used those programs or programs like them.

3) And you'll need about 4-5 hours each week to read the lessons and
practice making web pages

The tuition is $36 and you can pay online by clicking on the Enroll

The units' War Diaries, held at Kew, are worth looking at for they
give their day-to-day activities. As a general view, they will just
give officers names, not 'other ranks', but the content depends upon
the officer on the day.

If you would care to send me, privately, the names of the persons you
are searching, together with their regimen and number, I will see how
they are listed in the "British Jewry Book of Honour". If any had
lost his life during WW1, then his home address will be listed and
also possibly a photograph.

Next JGSNY Meeting: November 21, 2010, 2:00 PM
Topic: "American Passage, The History of Ellis Island"

Speaker: Vincent J. Cannato

Professor Cannato masterfully illuminates the story of Ellis Island >from the
days when it hosted pirate hangings witnessed by thousands of New Yorkers in
the 19th century, to the turn of the 20th century when massive migrations
sparked fierce debate and hopeful new immigrants often encountered
corruption, harsh conditions, and political scheming. American Passage
captures a time and place unparalleled in American immigration and history,
and articulates the dramatic and bittersweet accounts of the immigrants,
officials, interpreters, and social reformers who all play an important role
in Ellis Island's chronicle. Providing readers with a glimpse into the
lives of these individuals, Cannato masterfully narrates this complex and
often heart-wrenching epic.

Though the last immigrant was processed at Ellis Island over fifty years ago
in 1954, this comprehensive history traces the importance of this historic
location well after the final immigrant set foot there. American Passage
illustrates the port of entry's lasting legacy, >from the discussion of the
detention of aliens during World War II, to the rebirth of Ellis Island as a
national monument. As immigration policy, national security, and the war on
terror remain at the forefront of national debate today, this timely history
offers Americans an important perspective on how the nation addressed
similar challenges a century ago. In this sweeping history, tracing the
dramatic stories and evolution of this influential American landmark,
Cannato reveals that the history of Ellis Island is ultimately the story of
what it means to be American.

Professor Cannato teaches history at the University of Massachusetts, Boston
and is the author of The Ungovernable City: John Lindsay and His Struggle to
Save New York. He has written for The New York Times, The Wall Street
Journal, and The Washington Post.

A book-signing will follow the presentation.

Members are free, guests $5.00 at the door

Location: Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16th Street (between 5th and
6th Avenues), Manhattan.

The Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute at CJH will be open before the
meeting starting at 11:00 a.m. for networking with other researchers and
access to research materials and computers.
