Finding Your Roots: Eastern European Jewish Ancestors (Informational Only)
Wednesday, November 12
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm Virtually
The Maryland Genealogical Society and Maryland Public Television are partnering to offer a special two-hour webinar focused on Ashkenazic Jewish genealogical research, Finding Your Roots: Eastern European Jewish Ancestors. This presentation will cover how to methodically trace your family within the US back into Eastern Europe and will give insight into the types of sources and documents available for records in both the United States and Europe.
Learn basic knowledge critical to researching one's Jewish roots, as well as examples of the types of things that can be found that can help get to the stories in the lives of your ancestors and the communities in which they lived. Despite the myth, many documents were not destroyed, and it's very possible to learn about your ancestors and the communities in which they lived for several centuries.
The webinar presenter is Lara Diamond, who has lectured around the country and internationally on Jewish and Eastern European genealogy research as well as genetic genealogy. Lara is president of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Maryland, is JewishGen's Director of Subcarpathia Research, and is a strategic advisor to JewishGen’s Ukraine Research Division. She also runs multiple district- and town-focused projects to collect documentation to assist all those researching ancestors from common towns. Lara blogs about her Eastern European and Jewish research at https://larasgenealogy.blogspot.com. |
