JGSGB EE SIG - Nov 15th 2020 2pm – with Carole Shaw – “Travels in Latvia, Ukraine & Poland - In search for the Elusive Family”
Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is an extra meeting from the JGSGB Eastern European Special Interest Group (EE SIG) by Zoom.
This is the second of three speakers on Eastern European ancestral tourism in November, making it Ancestral Tourism month!
Don’t forget there is also an Anglo-Jewish Special Interest Group meeting coming soon. Lots more details about subsequent meetings will follow in the coming weeks.
Here is the information for the next meeting:
• Date: Sunday Nov 15th 2020
• Time: 14:00 London
(note, 09:00 New York, 06:00 San Francisco)
• Title: “Travels in Latvia, Ukraine & Poland - In search for the Elusive Family”
• Speaker: Carole Shaw
• Description: This talk will launch in Great Britain, with Carole’s initial forays into the wild world of genealogy, quickly migrating to Latvia, Ukraine and Poland, which she visited in 2019, on a quest for family and Jewish history. Some of this should dovetail with Leigh Dworkin’s talk on 1st November as it includes the vast metropolis of Lomza and environs. Hopefully, there will be tips on how to further your own research into the deepest depths of former Soviet-related climes.
After the talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A and discussion on the talk.
About Carole Shaw
Although possessing and professing a general interest in this field, Carole got seriously involved in genealogy as a result of tracking down long-lost and discovering unknown relatives in 2018. Her main and most up-to-date tree is on MyHeritage, with smaller versions on Ancestry and Geni. The latter chance encounter led to some unexpected discoveries of further relatives, and fuels the controversies on the merits of Geni vs the rest. She has attended My Heritage Live in 2018 and 2019 and would have been in Tel Aviv this October, were it not cancelled.
A linguist proficient inter alia in Russian, German and Yiddish, she is also a sometimes comedian with a mean line in Jewish jokes.
The invitation to register is below, but please keep it to yourself!
