Too far for me to drive from Roseville, or I'd not miss this meeting! It has always been one of my favorites. The kids do a great job and tell interesting tales of family trials and triumphs. They even bring elders with them who they have written about. It is never boring! Please do go out for the meeting. The audience should not be filled only with the kids and their families! Happy Trails, Lauren

How often have you thought to yourself, "Why didn't I get started earlier in genealogy when I had more access to family members and others who could help me build my own family history?" One answer is to help others get started through our annual Family History Contest. At tomorrow's MCGS meeting we will honor and enjoy winning students read their personal family history essays. The names and schools of the winners are listed in January's Society Newsletter, but do come and hear them in person, beginning at 7:30 pm. Remember, future members of MCGS might well come from the ranks of young people like those you will hear tomorrow night. Remember also to bring recyclable cans and bottles to be left near the entrance to the LDS building. These help defray MCGS operating expenses. Bill Bryant, MCGS Secretary

Hi Cathy---This sure sounds interesting. Would surely enjoy it if I was young enough. Oh well!!! How is the Mt. Tam. cemetery book coming along? I still want to get a copy when it comes out. Thanks.

Thanks, Cathy, that does look interesting. Wish it was in the fall, we might be back there in the fall. Would be a good program followup. The newspapers have all been notified of our winners, you have the essays from Esther, am I correct? I need to bring you the photos. Anything else? See you Wednesday night.

David & June E. Rubin Stern; William & Lisa Brinner; William Jacobson; Zoe Kahn Subject: [MarinGenSoc] Event Update - January 2010 SFBAJGS San FranciscoMeeting Dear JGS Member: Item 1. in January's News & Events indicated that details on our Society's January meeting would be forthcoming. And so, here they are. Shellie Wiener ================ *1. SFBAJGS Meeting – Sunday, January 24, 2010 in San Francisco* Topic: *BYOB session - Bring Your Own Brick Wall* Getting past genealogy stumbling blocks with help from a panel of SFBAJGS Genealogy Experts When: Sunday, January 24, 2010 Time: Doors open 1:00 pm, Program begins at 1:30 pm and runs until 3:30 pm. Where: *San Francisco Public Library - Noe Valley Branch Community Room* *Map* <http://tinyurl.com/y8fflzo> 451 Jersey Street (half a block west of Castro), San Francisco unrestricted street parking is available in the immediate vicinity Light refreshments will be served Free to anyone attending. In 2010, the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society is featuring speakers from its membership, to showcase the breadth of knowledge and resources in our group. To launch the new year, some of those more experienced members will lead a brick wall session. We all start our family history quests with what genealogists call "brick walls", those questions or situations we just can't fathom how to scale. Do not fear, several Society members can offer suggestions based upon several years of their own research to help you break through, climb over, or get around those brick walls. Bring your questions and documents (No originals, please. Make copies first!), and let's see if we can't make that breakthrough. The library has free wi-fi, so some of us with laptops may be able to take advantage of this and locate almost instant answers. No promises, though! ______________________________________ A big "THANK YOU" to all of you that give so generously of your time volunteering for the Society. --------------------------------- Visit our website: http://www.maringensoc.org Read the meeting notices: <http://www.maringensoc.org/News/newsletters.htm> Read the Society's blog run by Gene Pennington: http://maringensoc.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MARINGENSOC-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ______________________________________ A big "THANK YOU" to all of you that give so generously of your time volunteering for the Society. --------------------------------- Visit our website: http://www.maringensoc.org Read the meeting notices: <http://www.maringensoc.org/News/newsletters.htm> Read the Society's blog run by Gene Pennington: http://maringensoc.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MARINGENSOC-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

As stated... for the list admin to deal with. OFF list. If you desire to speak of administrative issues, please write MarinGenSoc-admin@rootsweb.com and NOT to the entire list, please. This has been the rule since the list began. As I recall there was a post and a correction to their earlier post. I allowed them. This is not a direct feed from their ezine on a regular basis. If you have further comments on this or any other Administrative topic, please check your address line prior to hitting the send button. Ensure you do NOT have the list address included. Thanks.

The recent posts on our mail list concerning the messages from SFBAJGS are a good example of why a genealogy group/association may want to use an on line calendar blog to keep people informed about their meetings, events, presentations and classes. I posted a message yesterday on the MCGS blog <http://maringensoc.blogspot.com/> about the San Francisco Bay Area Genealogy Calendar blog <http://sfbagenealogy.blogspot.com/> which provides such a service for free. The MCGS meetings, events, presentations and classes are posted on the San Francisco Bay Area Genealogy Calendar blog and the MCGS website. To learn more, go to the MCGS blog at http://maringensoc.blogspot.com/ or go the San Francisco Bay Area Genealogy Calendar blog <http://sfbagenealogy.blogspot.com/>.

Don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater here just don't want to get multiple messages from SFBAJGS. I have received several messages and think that if you are allowing them to advertise their meetings then they should only do it once.

Dear JGS Member: Item 7. in yesterday's News & Events had several errors. The talk by Dr. Stephen Morse to the SCCHCS had no start time and was listed as taking place on a mish-mash of today's & tomorrow's dates. The location has also been updated to the main branch of the Santa Clara City Library. The corrected copy is shown below. I apologize for the many errors in this listing and any inconvenience that it has caused. Shellie Wiener ================ *7.

Hoosiers! My grandparents were married almost 71 years when my grandfather died last spring. I asked my grandma about it several years ago--when I figured out they were 16 and 17 when they got married-- and she replied they were too young to have any sense. She has three great-great grandchildren now too. She's seen the grandchildren of her grandchildren be born. Amazing to me.Thanks for sharing the article, Cathy. --- On Sun, 1/17/10, cylgowdy@aol.com <cylgowdy@aol.com> wrote: From: cylgowdy@aol.com <cylgowdy@aol.com> Subject: [MarinGenSoc] news item To: MarinGenSoc@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, January 17, 2010, 1:22 PM This really blew me away!

Upcoming JGS Sacramento Meetings - Sunday, January 17 and Sunday, February 21* Program: *Joann Weiser - "Everyone has a story to tell..."* When: Sunday, January 17, 2010, 10 am Where: Albert Einstein Residence Center *Map* <http://tinyurl.com/ytnbnx> 1935 Wright Street, Sacramento Joann Weiser will focus on the importance of preserving stories of family members and ancestors. Memories not recorded are soon forgotten. How often have you heard someone say, “I wish I would have asked my mother or father more about their lives?" Joann is originally from Sacramento, where she met her Israeli husband while earning a teaching credential at CSUS. They moved to Israel, where they spent 28 years before returning to this area. The idea of becoming a personal historian came about on one of her visits back to Israel, where preserving the personal histories of Holocaust survivors and Israeli pioneers has become a national priority. Joann is a member of the Association of Personal Historians and helps people write their life stories. ----------------------------------- Program: *Victoria Fisch - Jews in the Gold Rush? Who Knew?* When: Sunday, February 21, 2010, 10 am Where: Albert Einstein Residence Center *Map* <http://tinyurl.com/ytnbnx> 1935 Wright Street, Sacramento This presentation is an overview of the Jewish presence in the Gold Country from 1850 to 1900. Victoria Fisch of Folsom will discuss the geography of the Mother Lode, and events in central Europe and California that coincided with the discovery of gold in 1849. She will explain how Jewish immigrants traveled here, where they settled, and describe their unique experience in this region. While Victoria grew up in New York City, her mother told her tales of her own childhood in San Francisco. In 1978 Victoria moved to the Bay Area, and began her quest to fill in the puzzle of her Western relatives. For the last 20 years she has undertaken genealogical projects for friends and clients, including supplying documentation to furnish proof of Jewish ancestry for aliyah. In early 2009, Avotaynu, a Jewish genealogical publisher, asked Victoria to write a chapter on Sacramento Jewry for a U.S. sourcebook. This led to a fascination with the history of the Jewish merchant pioneers of the Gold Rush and a desire to make their story widely known. ----------------------------------- The JGS Sacramento genealogy library will be available for your use before and after the meetings.

Other Upcoming Genealogy Programs in the Bay Area* *An Upcoming Bay Area Speaking Engagement with SFBAJGS Member Steven Morse* Program: *One-Step Website: A Hodgepodge of Lesser Known Gems* When: Monday, January 19 Where: Santa Clara County Historical and Genealogical Society 70 W Hedding Street *Map* <http://tinyurl.ycyal4t> San Jose, CA 95110 Steve Morse, creator of the helpful One-Step Web Pages (see www.stevemorse.org) <http://www.stevemorse.org/> and SFBAJGS member, will make a presentation to the Santa Clara County Historical and Genealogical Society*. One-Step Webpages: A Hodgepodge of Lesser-Known Gems *is a sequel to the well -received Potpourri talk. There are too many utilities on the One-Step website to be covered in a single talk, so many of them found their way to the cutting room floor when the Potpourri talk was being edited. However several of those are quite useful. This talk describes those gems that you might not otherwise be aware of. They range from problems with genealogical searches to problems with identity theft to problems with DNA. <-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-> *A Book Reading and Discussion* Program: *Marianne Hirsch and Leo Spitzer: Ghosts of Home* When: Thursday, February 4, 6:00-7:30 Where: University Press Books 2430 Bancroft Way (between Telegraph & Dana) *Map*<http://tinyurl.com/yjxmqmk> Berkeley, California University of California Press and University Press Books Invite you to join Marianne Hirsch and Leo Spitzer For a Discussion and Reading from Their New Book - *Ghosts of Home: The Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish Memory *(UC Press, 2010) from the publisher - In modern-day Ukraine, east of the Carpathian Mountains, there is an invisible city. Known as Czernowitz, the "Vienna of the East" under the Habsburg empire, this vibrant Jewish-German Eastern European culture vanished after World War II-yet an idealized version lives on, suspended in the memories of its dispersed people and passed down to their children like a precious and haunted heirloom. In this original blend of history and communal memoir, Marianne Hirsch and Leo Spitzer chronicle the city's survival in personal, familial, and cultural memory. They find evidence of a cosmopolitan culture of nostalgic lore—but also of oppression, shattered promises, and shadows of the Holocaust in Romania. Hirsch and Spitzer present the first historical account of Jewish Czernowitz in the English language and offer a profound analysis of memory's echo across generations. ======================= *8.
