Russian Interest Group

The Russian Interest Group (RIG) is for JGASGP members who wish to research their ancestors who lived in countries once governed by Czarist Russia.  Meetings of the RIG are held periodically at convenient locations in the Delaware Valley.  Each meeting is a “deep dive” into a topic of special interest for those researching Jewish ancestors who lived in Imperial Russian lands.  For more information, check our home page or contact the RIG Coordinator, David Brill.

German Interest Group

The German Interest Group(GIG) is for JGASGP members who wish to research their ancestors who lived in German-speaking areas of Central Europe.  Currently, JGASGP is seeking a leader for the group.  If you are interested, please contact the JGASGP president.
