The Importance of Thorough American Research in Jewish Genealogy: Finding your Family’s Town and Original Surname
Risa Daitzman Heywood
March 19, 1:30 pm
Following the program, participants will have the opportunity to join breakout rooms and continue the discussion about American records in their own searches. This will give us an opportunity to meet in a smaller setting, ask questions, share knowledge, and support each other in our research. Break out rooms will be facilitated by a JGSGB board member.
