Holyoke, Mass

Western Massachusetts Jewish Genealogical Society

by Laurel | June 29th, 2009

I was not aware of this organization until a couple of days ago and wanted to point readers to the WMJGS website. Lots of info on their site including a bibliography of books the group has donated to Forbes Library, links, newsletter and meeting details. Looks like a great group to get involved in and very helpful to Jewish genealogy researchers.
