That’s why the 2025 IAJGS (International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies) conference will be in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In his presentation, Curt Witcher, the Manager of the Genealogy Center, will explore with us the international holdings and datafiles at the library, emphasizing those of interest for Jewish research. He will demonstrate how to explore the expansive holdings and datafiles of the Genealogy Center, both remotely and in-person.
