Our Mission

  • The objective of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Cleveland, Inc. is to foster Jewish family history and genealogical research.

  • The Society educates the public and disseminates information on Jewish records, sources, techniques, archives and libraries, and has done so since its inception in 1982.

  • The Society maintains its own research library and encourages the collection of genealogical material and family histories.

  • The Society also assists out-of-town researchers to locate their Cleveland roots. Our research committee members guide researchers to institutions, web sites, and other resources to find genealogical information.

A copy of the Bylaws of the Society can be seen here.

Donations are also welcome. We are an I.R.S. 501(c)(3) organization, so your gifts will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Our Society is a member of the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies, an independent non-profit umbrella organization of the more than 75 national and local Jewish genealogical societies around the world.
