Your questions\, brick walls or research stories may help other attendees. \nIn order to ensure that we can all benefit\, we are limiting these Poland SIG meetings to JGST members only.\nI’m looking forward to meeting with you on Thursday evening\, 20 April at 7:30 p.m. \nHow to Register\nJGS Toronto members: Go to the Members Area of our website to click on the link\, “Registration for Poland Special Interest Group”. \nNON-JGS Toronto members: Join our society at Become a Member – Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto (jgstoronto.ca) for only $40 CDN\, $50 for couples.
