Meet Our Hosts and Organizers

The Conference is hosted by the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS), an umbrella organization of more than 90 Jewish genealogical organizations worldwide. The IAJGS coordinates and organizes activities such as the annual IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy and provides a unified voice as the spokesperson on behalf of its members. The IAJGS’s vision is of a worldwide network of Jewish genealogical research organizations and partners working together as one coherent, effective, and respected community—enabling people to succeed in researching Jewish ancestry and heritage.

This year's local host, the Northeast Indiana Jewish Genealogy Society, was founded in 2018 and has grown from three founding members to 65 in 2024.  They hold quarterly, public programs to discuss and promote Jewish genealogy, as well as several more intimate events just for our members. The purpose of the group is to present educational programs relevant to Jewish genealogy, to support members in their pursuit of their family histories, to collaborate with other organizations on areas of Jewish genealogical interests, and to protect, preserve and share Jewish genealogical records from the region of Northeast Indiana.  For more information about the Northeast Indiana Jewish Genealogy Society, visit their website at www.NEIndianaJGS.org.
