Finding Jewish Records in MyHeritage SuperSearch Engine
Genealogist Daniel Horowitz will speak about finding Jewish records using the MyHeritage SuperSearch engine, a state-of-the-art tool that can help you search for information about your relatives online. Horowitz will show you how to use updated features of the search engine to find information about your relatives quickly and efficiently.

He is involved in several crowdsource digitization and transcription projects and holds a board-level position at The Israel Genealogy Research Association (IGRA). Since 2006 Horowitz has been working at MyHeritage as a liaison to genealogy societies, bloggers and media, as well as lecturing, and attending conferences around the world.

Many families that Gulf Coast JFCS serve struggle to provide food for themselves and their children. The Gulf Coast JFCS William and Sally Israel Food Pantry supports families and individuals in need including through our Family Reunification Services program. Your support ensures program counselors and coordinators can access healthy food items for families experiencing food insecurity. Removing worry about food shortages allows families to focus on other vital building blocks for healthy families. Please consider supporting those in need through the following ways:
Please bring food donations to JGSTB meetings. Donate debit cards or cash to Gulf Coast JFCS in person or through their website or through its Amazon store.
