The JewishGen Discussion Group (or the JGDG as Phil likes to call it) is the preeminent "granddaddy" of online Jewish Genealogy forums. And the old man still has a few tricks to teach those young FaceBook upstart whippersnappers. This presentation started from the beginning - What is the JGDG and how can it help you? - and walked us through how to use its features and get the most out of it.
