“Roots-Key” is Outstanding Publication!
JGSLA is extremely pleased to share with all our members the happy news that Roots-Key, our Society journal, was awarded
the Outstanding Publication recognition by IAJGS at the conference banquet on July 15, 2010. The award was accepted by Roots-Key’s editors, David B. Hoffman and Sonia Hoffman. The editors also want to acknowledge the tremendous contributions to Roots-Key by its previous editor, Nancy Holden, who is also award-winning in our eyes and hearts!
The language of the award is as follows:
Outstanding Publication Award
Presented to the Jewish Genealogical Society of Los Angeles
This award, for the second time, recognizes that for many years, Roots-Key, the Journal of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Los Angeles, has been consistent in providing original articles and book reviews with high quality insight into world-wide and functional aspects of Jewish genealogy, not only to genealogists in Los Angeles but also to the broader Jewish genealogical community.

I read the first copy of Roots Key as a board member of JGSPBCI when we had to vote on it and felt it was an excellent and well done publication. Keep up the good work, it is a credit to the genealogy community.
