	Welcome to JGSBC.org

	Founded in 1988 by Bernard Israelite Kouchel, JGSBC is a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting, preserving and disseminating genealogical infor- mation, techniques and research tools among people interested in Jewish genealogy and family history. JGSBC is an integral part of a global network of 75+ societies, all members of the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies, Inc. (IAJGS), with 10,000+ individual members who are actively researching their Jewish roots. Our base of operations and library of research materials is on the campus of the Soref Jewish Community Center, on the 2nd floor of the Administration Building, 6501 W. Sunrise Boulevard (between University Drive and the Florida Turnpike), in Plantation, Florida. Click here for directions. Genealogical research offers pleasures and insights which are unique. The desire which drives it is simple and undeniable: It is the curiosity of the child who asks, *"Where did I come from?"* JGSBC is open to all interested in genealogy. While we do not do research for members, we show them how to explore the history of their family, and then dig deeper.
