His presentation starts at 2 p.m. Sign-in, networking, and the JGSI genealogy help desk and research library will open at 12:30 p.m. In his presentation, Meyer will recount how the discovery of a small, faded Polaroid photograph of three people led to a detailed reconstructed view of his grandfather's grocery store. He will share what he learned about researching small Chicago businesses, and how he re-created an image that once existed only in his memory. Scott E. Meyer is a former president and current recording secretary of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois, and a former director of the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies.
