Roots-Key, the Journal of JGS Los Angeles, is publishing their special
issue, "Recreating Your Ancestral Shtetl", in December, 2007.
This 68-page journal contains articles covering a range of topics
that researchers encounter while trying to expand their family genealogy
into town-wide research. Where do you find the records? How do you
analyze the data? If no records exist, what can you do? When you have
collected all that you can, what should you do with all that stuff?

The issue is organized around four themes:
1. How to document the families and Jewish community life of a town
using many types of records. Towns in Belarus, Lithuania, Poland, Germany,
and Ukraine are featured. Authors include Sonia and David Hoffman, Vitaly
Charny, Victor Kumok writing from the Ukraine, Henry Neugass, and Mike
Marvins.

2. A separate section of analyzing data describes integrating databases
and given name analyses as well as community genealogies. Authors include
Daniel Wagner and Israel Pickholtz, writing from Israel.

3. A third section concentrates on 20th century research, Holocaust
memorials and memoirs, highlighting Yizkor books, translation projects,
biographical memoirs, town associations, innovative ways to uncover the
past and build a bridge to the future, with articles by Joyce Field,
Werner Frank, Joel Petlin, Meyer Swirsky writing from Israel, and
Martin Cahn writing from Poland.

4. Finding ways to preserve and share research and town histories are
included in the last section on publication with articles by Susana Bloch,
Chaim Freedman writing from Israel, Eilat Gordin Levitan and Jeffrey Kohn.

If you are interested in purchasing a copy of this issue, we would like to
add your name and address to the bulk mailing labels. The charge for this
double issue is $10.
