October 2 - Jewish Roots

October 2 - Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, is today. Access Yizkor books, cemetery information, databases and more at Jewish Gen <www.jewishgen.org>.

Well that was back in 2006 and Yom Kippur was Wednesday, September 25. For future reference, 2013: September 13, 2014: October 3 and 2015: September 22. Youm Kippur observances begin at sundown on the first secular date and conclude the following day at nightfall.

Inspite of us missing Yom Kippur, please check out Jewish Genealogy.

October 1 - Family History Month

October 1 -  Set the stage for Family History Month by listening to inspiring tunes such as Neil Diamond's “America” or “Lady Liberty” by Orleans. Steve Lanza's Ancestral Songs album is another good one.
