Sephardic SIG #Sephardim JewishGen's NY Genealogy Course starts June 14 #sephardic
So many of our immigrant ancestors lived in New York City -- they
started on the Lower East Side and upgraded to the Bronx and Brooklyn; their children moved to Queens, Westchester, Long Island and New Jersey. We have census reports >from Ancestry and vital records from ItalianGen, but this class will focus on the more esoteric documents our ancestors generated, including probate, landsmanshaften, voter registration, newspapers, and court case records. This is an intermediate level genealogy course with eight text lessons you can download; there are no specific times for the course as students are international. Students will select a branch to research and receive daily advice and suggestions >from the instructor through a 24/7 Forum, in a query and answer format. Students must feel comfortable browsing the web and downloading files, have 8-10 hours available each week, and should select one NYC family where census and vital records are already documented. Tuition is $150; registration is open at: https://www.jewishgen.org/education/description.asp?course=40135 For questions, please email the instructor: Phyllis Kramer, JewishGen's VP of Education, born and bred in NYC; she will lead you through it. phylliskramer1@gmail.com Nancy Siegel (San Francisco, CA, USA) Communications Coordinator JewishGen.org
