JewishGen Talks: JewishGen Redesign – What’s New

JewishGen and the Museum of Jewish Heritage are proud to roll out JewishGen’s new user interface for the JewishGen website. The new site has been designed by JewishGen’s Chief Genealogist, Caitlin Hollander Waas. The new site is not only more aesthetically pleasing, but it also has enhanced functionality that will help family historians and professional genealogists alike. Please join Caitlin as she leads us on an in‑depth tour of the site with an eye to new tools including enhanced search capabilities, interactive historical maps, and overall greater accessibility and more.
