JEWISH GENEALOGICAL NEWSLETTERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By Warren Blatt and Jim Yarin
June, 1993
Adopted from an article in Mass-pocha, II, 1
This is a catalog of journals and newsletters relating to Jewish
genealogy. Most Jewish Genealogical Societies (JGS's) publish a
newsletter. These vary greatly in their number of pages per issue
(from 4 to 50 or more), tone (from chatty to scholarly), and
production quality (printing process, binding, paper type, etc.)
Some of the smaller newsletters stress society administra-
tive matters. Nearly all newsletters borrow from other newslet-
ters. Some borrow a little information, some borrow a whole lot.
Newsletters from the larger cities (New York, Philadelphia, and
Los Angeles, for example) have a well-balanced selection of
material, including feature articles addressing specific aspects
of research. Some of the "meatier" newsletters are published by
the JGS's of Canada, Cleveland, Illinois and Great Britain.
Several newsletters, while not tipping any scales, are
nevertheless informative and pleasurable reading. These include
the Greater Washington and San Francisco newsletters.
I am purposefully avoiding recommending a subscription to
any of these publications with one exception: Avotaynu, The
International Review of Jewish Genealogy. Avotaynu is THE source
for Jewish genealogy. By all means, check out the others, and if
you like what you find, or if you have an interest in the location
served by those other newsletters, subscribe. Every newsletter
offers something, and you never know where you're going to find
just the information that you need.
Following is a catalog of newsletters related to Jewish
genealogy. Unless noted otherwise, all newsletters are quarterly;
payments are to be made to the listed organization; the amounts
are for a one year subscription. In nearly all cases, the sub-
scription amount is considered the payment of dues for a non-local
member; local subscribers or memberships will probably cost more.
Overseas subscribers should expect to pay additional. Some infor-
mation may not be current. Be prepared for changes.
Nearly all of the American-Jewish genealogy newsletters
published between 1977 and 1990 were microfiched by Avotaynu in
1991. This set of 24 microfiche is available for purchase for
$36.00 from Avotaynu, P.O. Box 1134, Teaneck, NJ 07666. Telephone
(201) 837-8300. All local JGSs should have a copy of these fiche.

the microfiche.
