Subject: Sharsheret Hadorot, February 2004 issue

We are proud to devote the February issue, almost in its entirety, to articles connected with the 24th IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy that will take place in Jerusalem in July 2004 / Tammuz 5764. Our conscientious volunteers are preparing special projects, setting up an Internet web page, scheduling the lectures as well as additional distinctive programs, and more. We all want to support them and wish them and the Conference great success.
 
In mentioning assistance in preparation for the Conference, we have the pleasant task at this point of thanking all who have helped and are continuing to help us, in every corner of the world, to publicize the Conference and the plans for it. We thank them for their continued support and encouragement: the Jewish Genealogical Societies around the world; journals and in particular Avotaynu; the various Special Interest Groups (SIGs) of JEWISHGEN, and countless individuals. May each and every one of you be blessed and we hope to see you in the month of Tammuz in Jerusalem along with all the others who will be attending the Conference.
