Jeanette R Rosenberg’s presentation will explore the information you can find online and where to find it. She will direct you to key resources to help you find and access records for your German-Jewish family history research. Jeanette will cover the different types of records you can expect to locate and how to request copies from German archives, if you need something that isn’t yet available online. She will also explain what record sets are free to access, and which are the best paid-for resources for your German Jewish genealogy. You will discover how to make the most out of using these records.
This one-hour program, conducted over Zoom at 1:30 pm EST, is free for members. This is one of the many activities that is a benefit of JGSGW membership.
