Shemot is the quarterly magazine of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain and is sent free to members. It contains original articles of genealogical interest ranging from personal experiences of individual members, perhaps recording a chance meeting with a distant relative or a visit to an East European shtetl, to family histories and biographies of your ancestors.  Research methods and sources are important as are details of useful websites.  Articles, preferably of 1000-1500 words, are most welcome and should be sent in Word format, without pictures, in the first instance, to the Editor at shemot@jgsgb.org.uk

A list of articles which have appeared in Shemot 1992-2002 is available, as are indexes for 2003, 2004,
