American Jewish University

Barbara Algaze, Librarian of JGSLA,  will be conducting a 3-session course in Beginning Jewish Genealogy at the American Jewish University (formerly the University of Judaism). The course will be held on three Tuesday mornings: October 12th, 19^th and 26th,  10:00 a.m. – 12 noon. The classes will be held at the University campus.  The cost for the class is $80 plus a $15 registration fee.  (The $15 is a one-time per semester fee, therefore, if you are taking additional courses, only one $15 fee will be charged.)

You can see the information about the class by going to the University website.  Next, roll your mouse over menu item “Continuing Education” and the drop-down list will show “Adult Jewish Studies” about halfway down.  Click it.  This will bring you to the course listings and “Beginning Jewish Genealogy” is toward the bottom.  Finally, click the headline to get to the actual course detail page.

Even better, you can access the course description directly by clicking here.  Registration can be completed by clicking the words “Available – Add course to online Registration” below the course title.

The course will explore what types of records exist, what they can tell you about your family members, and where these records can be found. Discussion will include research using books, an introduction to microfilms, and help with looking for your family on the Internet.

American Jewish University is located at 15600 Mulholland Dr. Bel-Air. California 90077 (very close to the 405 freeway).  Click here for a map and directions.
