A SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group within JewishGen which brings together genealogists originating from a country or a large region. For instance, there is Ukraine-SIG for those who have a family from Ukraine, H-SIG for Hungary and so on. These SIG are active through all year long and manage a mailing list with e-mails sent every day or almost every day. Some fifteen of them will be present at the Paris 2012 Conference. They will participate to breakfasts, to luncheons and will host qualified speakers.
BOF means Birds of a Feather. This is a group smaller than a SIG bringing together genealogists originating from a city or a district. Eight BOFs will be present in Paris. Two more groups with very specialized common interests have been added under this heading.
