Coming to Columbus: The Jewish Journey

The Ohio History Connection’s Archives & Library, the Franklin County Genealogical and Historical Society (FCGHS), and the Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) jointly offer a series of workshops designed to help family history researchers find out about the many records and resources available for research.

The workshops offer an in-depth review of methods, tools, and sources for exploring your family’s history. We offer in-person workshops, hands-on technology topics, and webinar presentations. See individual workshop descriptions for location, date, and time.

Many Jewish immigrants made their way to Columbus beginning in 1838. There have been five distinct waves of Jewish immigration since then. Join Toby Brief, Director and Curator of the Columbus Jewish Historical Society Historical Collections, as she tells the fascinating stories of these immigrants who made their homes in Columbus.
