Jewish Genealogical Research Program
JGSCT Board members will be on hand to assist in family
research. The Society’s purpose is to preserve and disseminate Jewish genealogical knowledge with programs, a library at Godfrey, and a newsletter.
Godfrey is the only public library in Connecticut solely devoted to genealogy. It developed the American Genealogical Biographical Index (AGBI), a 226-volume index of 4 million names. The Library has 200,000 books and periodicals, including state and local histories, international resources, family histories, biographies, records of religious organizations, church records, funeral
records, cemetery records, military records, and maps. The online Godfrey Scholar Program was implemented in 2002. It is a subscription gateway to thousands of databases. The web site is http://www.godfrey.org/
