SDJGS meeting: Calling all San Diego Litvaks
#general
Roberta Berman <rbrta@...>
San Diego Jewish Genealogical Society
Sunday, May 7, 1:00 p.m. Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center 2nd floor - Astor Judaica Library 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla The Grand Duchy Project: Finding Families in 18th Century Records in Belarus, Lithuania and Poland Speakers: Sonia and David Hoffman. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was home to the ancestors of 80% of the Jews alive in the world today. During this "golden age," before this area became part of the Russian Empire, Jews enjoyed a large degree of self-government and economic security. The Hoffmans are translating and analyzing thousands of pages of census-tax records >from the latter half of the 18th century, for the areas which are now in Lithuania, Belarus and parts of Poland and Ukraine. They will describe the information that these records contain about communities (kahals) and families, and the historical context for these findings and demonstrate how researchers have identified their families in these records, though they did not yet have surnames. Many shtetl research groups are participating in this project to create a patronymic online database and to more fully re-create the history of their shtetls going back to the 17th and 18th centuries. David B. Hoffman, Ph.D., is president of the Jewish Family History Foundation and serves on the Board of Directors of the JGS Los Angeles. He co-founded and is past-president of the LitvakSIG. Sonia Hoffman is president of the JGS Los Angeles and coordinates the Grand Duchy Project of the Jewish Family History Foundation. She also served as coordinator of the Bialystok Shtetl CO-OP for JRI-Poland. Non-members of SDJGS: $3.00 or join at the door. Visit our website at www.sdjgs.org
