South East Essex RG – 28 June 2020 2pm – with Anne Marcus – “The Prayer Books in the Attic – a Genealogical Mystery”
Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is from the JGSGB South East Essex Regional Group (SEE RG) by Zoom.
Date June 28th 2020. Time 14:00 London. Title: “The Prayer Books in the Attic – a Genealogical Mystery”. Speaker: Anne Marcus. Description: At the February meeting of the South East Essex Group Anne Marcus, group convenor, was handed two old Jewish war issue prayer books. They were found in an attic locally by someone moving out of a house. Who did they belong to? Who were the names mentioned inside? How did the books get into the attic of a house in Southend-on-Sea? As an avid genealogist and crime fiction fan this was a challenge Anne couldn’t refuse. At the meeting Anne will reveal what she discovered, showing the genealogical resources she used along the way.
