The Goals of our Society include 

— promoting awareness among the Jewish community of the possibility of tracing their ancestors; 

— fostering an ongoing interest in our heritage; and 

— encouraging the sharing of research techniques and knowledge.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami, Inc. is a member of the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS).

Genealogy is an exciting adventure that will immerse you in the world of your ancestors where you will learn about their history and traditions within the global context. You will learn about your ancestral towns and the lives of family members, bringing back their names for future generations. And you will discover and become acquainted with living relatives you never knew existed.
