Co-founder Michael Waas will be speaking on March 7, 2024 at 2 pm EST as part of the JewishGen Talk’s series about a discovery he made last year working in the Ottoman Archives: a surviving register from the first formal census of Ottoman Izmir in 1830s that contained a surprise: surnames of the Jewish community!
Read more about the lecture here and register for it. It is free with a suggested donation. This talk will be the first of many to come in Waas’s new capacity as a volunteer Associate Director of the Sephardic Research Division of JewishGen.
