Membership Form

  • The Gesher Galicia printable membership form is in the widely used Adobe PDF format. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and to print the membership form. This program is
    free, comes pre-installed on many personal computers, and is often distributed on the CD-ROMs that come with printers, scanners, and other computer
    peripherals. If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer and do not have it on CD-ROM you can download it at no charge from the Adobe website.
  • Our membership form is in the North American letter paper size (8.5 x 11 inches) with sufficient margins so that the form will print on A4 paper without the loss of text.
  • This form may be completed by first printing it out and then entering the data by hand, or you can fill in the form on your computer by typing directly into the fields on the form and then immediately printing it. NOTE: Although you can compete this version by typing on a computer, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SAVE A COPY with the typed entries. Print out the form immediately after you enter the data. If you save and reopen the file, you will find the fields blank again.

Gesher Galicia is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people research their Jewish family roots in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire province of Galicia, which is today southeastern Poland and southwestern Ukraine. Our organization's primary focus is researching Jewish roots in Galicia, but the diverse community records in our databases contain names that span all the ethnic and religious groups who once lived in this region.
