Webinar - Is It Me or was My Great Grandmother Crazy?, Daniel Horowitz

Time: 19:00 - 20:00

Daniel’s quest to find the truth about one of his great-grandmothers led him to a wealth of newly available records from the Holocaust — which just might help you find more information about the fate of your own family before, during and after the war. Learn the techniques, tips, and tricks used to sift the true from the false and find out where to look and what to ask when researching a Jewish family that lived during the Holocaust.

Webinar - The Krakovsky Documents: Utilization of the Data by the Ukraine Research Group, Joel Spector

Time: 19:00 - 20:00

Description:

For several years, Alex Krakovsky, a Ukrainian Jew, has been scanning metrical and census records found in long-closed Ukranian archives. He has placed the indexes, in Cyrillic, on a webpage where they can easily be accessed by anyone interested. This presentation will first discuss the origin and method of Alex’s data acquisition, and then give an overview of the contents of his site. The Ukraine Research Group, formerly the Ukraine SIG, has begun a project to make English language indexes to these documents available. I will describe the Group’s current Metrical Records Project, whose purpose is to transliterate components of the documents and make the data available for researchers on JewishGen.
