About the Talk:
It has been extremely difficult for those trying to trace their ancestors back to the 14th and 15th centuries since, during the Inquisition, many Jews were forced to convert, change their names, and assume Christian identities in order to save themselves from death sentences. Many of these Jews were exiled from Spain and later from Portugal, and they scattered throughout Europe and Latin America. In this presentation, Genie Milgrom will describe the data she has spent more than 15 years compiling, and how it can be accessed through JewishGen.
