Family Curator - Home - Fall Foilage Opportunities at NEHGS

SharonVT 7

The weekly newsletter and periodic press releases from the New England Historic Genealogical Society are getting to be a kind of Yankee torture. I may read "Come Research in New England"?but what I see are gem-tone autumn leaves, wool sweaters, and sharp blue skies.?

If you have New England ancestors and have never visited your ancestral haunts in autumn, add it to your genealogy ToDo List. There's no better way to get started with New England research than by attending one of the outstanding programs offered at the New England Historic Genealogical Society headquartered on Newberry Street in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston.

The early Fall program schedule at NEHGS reminds me once again why I wish I lived in Massachusetts --

New Israel - New England: Jews and Puritans in Early America

September 12, 2012 6:00PM - 7:00PM

Author Michael Hoberman will discuss his book New Israel /New England: Jews and Puritans in Early America, which examines the history of colonial New England through the lens of its first settlers. The New England Puritans? fascination with the legacy of the Jewish religion has been well documented, but their interactions with actual Jews have escaped sustained historical attention. New Israel/New England tells the story of the Sephardic merchants in Boston and Newport between the mid-seventeenth century and the American Revolution. It also explores the complex and often contradictory meanings that the Puritans attached to Judaism and the fraught attitudes that they bore toward the Jews as a people.?This event is cosponsored with the American Jewish Historical Society, New England Archives.
