Organizations such as burial societies are listed in the 1907-08 edition of the American Jewish Yearbook , which contains hundreds of landsmanshaften and other groups. In 1938, the Yiddish Writers Group of the WPA (Works Progress Organization) conducted a survey of landsmanshaften and family circles. The books detailing the results of the survey and the organizations that responded are available in the Jewish Division of the New York Public Library. Most of it is in Yiddish, but a list of the groups is in English. Source: Judy Baston; e-mail: JRBaston@aol.com
