Meetings are held in association with the Jewish Public Library. Guests are welcome at all meetings. Most meetings are held in the Federation CJA Building which also houses the Jewish Public Library, the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre and the Gelber Conference Centre.
Please see our meeting schedule and location details.
Dating back to 1994, we have a Meeting Archive of over 200 presentations.
Starting 2020, some presentations can be viewed on YouTube.
Our free Sunday Morning Family Tree Workshops, held in conjunction with the Jewish Public Library of Montreal, provide society members and the general public with one-on-one research help. Experts answer research questions and do live searching of databases, both online and some exclusive to the Society. Workshops are normally held on the first Sunday of each month from October to June (except when conflicting with Jewish holy days) from 10 am to noon at the Jewish Public Library.
