| From 1999 through 2006, Avotaynu, Inc. promoted Jewish Genealogy Month. IAJGS took over the promotion of this special month in 2007. It is our hope that our member organizations will take advantage of International Jewish Genealogy Month to encourage Jewish genealogy and publicize their organization and activities all over the world. The International Jewish Genealogy month is
celebrated on Cheshvan. For this year exact dates see our
