>
>Those of you on this list who are researching your Jewish ancestry will be able to benefit that research immensely by attending the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies' 26th Annual Conference on Jewish Genealogy.
>
> This year's conference will be held in New York City. The dates of the conference are Sunday, August 13th through Friday, August 18th. The conference headquarters is the Marriott Marquis Hotel on Broadway at 45th Street, near many buses and subways.
>
> The conference's home page is at http://www.jgsny2006.org. From there, click on the links on the menu - and click on every link so you don't miss anything!
>
> Take a look at the list of topics and the speakers who are coming to New York from around the world to share their knowledge with you (that page is being added to regularly) and the meetings of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF).
>
> The "Research in New York" page supplies names, addresses, phone numbers, and a brief description of the holdings of almost one hundred public, private, and government libraries, archives, and agencies in the five boroughs. Click on the names of the repositories to visit their websites.
>
> "Jewish Cemeteries in the New York Metropolitan Area" provides names, addresses, and phone numbers and pertinent information about each cemetery. Travel directions via public transportation are also given.
>
> The FAQs answer - obviously! - the most frequently asked questions by those thinking of or planning to attend the conference.
>
> For the first time at an IAJGS conference, there will be a unique opportunity for you to speak directly to representatives of many public and private repositories and get insight into their collections, their policies, and their procedures. A Repository Fair has been designed to provide you with the information you will need for making effective and efficient use of the facilities both in person and once you return home. An interesting mix of repositories has already committed to participating in this Sunday event. To see a list of their names, scroll down to the bottom of the conference home page and click on the word "here."
