Society Meetings
Our meeting programs feature guest lecturers, workshops, seminars, roundtable discussions and the opportunity to network with others sharing the same interests. Visitors with an interest in Jewish genealogy are always welcome. Meetings are held from September to June, normally on the second Sunday of each month, beginning at 1:30 PM. Unless otherwise noted, all meetings are held at the offices of Gulf Coast Family and Community Services in Clearwater.

Next Meeting: 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9
Hands-On Assistance with the help of JGSTB experts
Jewish Genealogical Society of Tampa Bay experts will help members navigate around their genealogical “brick walls” at the society’s Sunday, Nov. 9 meeting. Each expert will use their computer for research and spend the time necessary to help you. Plan to bring your list of questions, all documentation you have and your laptop so you can copy findings.
This session is offered at no extra charge for members only -- including those who join before or at the meeting. A reservation is required by clicking here.
