The call for papers for the 36th IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy is out! http://www.iajgs2016.org/2015/10/call-for-proposals-for-36th-iajgs-conference-in-seattle/ . For those who don't know Seattle, it has a thriving Sephardic community (see www.ezrabessaroth.net/ and www.sbhseattle.org/). There is also easy to be had kosher food for those who care, and the awesome Devin Naar is nearby at UW. If anyone is interested in organizing a panel on Sephardic Genealogy, let me know!
