When looking for relatives in Latin America, the first place to try is the familysearch.org site. If you plug in your relatives' name and country, up they will pop. Lots of Kampels and Mutzmachers.

Remember, in this particular case, to put either the City or Country and limit it to the exact spelling.

Yesterday, I received an e-mail >from Lilliana LOEWENSTEIN of Buenos
Aires. She asked me for information about a death and burial in
Breslau in 1926. I have sent her 3 messages in response, but they are
"bouncing back" to me. For some reason, the address she used to send
her note to me is not accepting my replies.

If anyone knows Liliana LOEWENSTEIN or has a way to contact her,
please ask her to write to me again -- or ask whether she is having
problems with her e-mail service.

Thank you for your consideration.

The New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS)has produced a
webinar on Choosing a Genealogical Software Program. It is available on
their YouTube station for free. It runs 45 minutes presented by Rhonda McClure.

Over the past 18 months several genealogy software programs have either
already (The Master Genealogist)or will be no longer supported after the
end of this year (Family Tree Maker). The purpose of the webinar is to
assist the individual in making an informed decision as to which program to
consider using. The genealogy programs that are discussed are: Ancestral
Quest, Brother's Keeper, Heredis, iFamily, Legacy, MacFamilyTree, Reunion,
and RootsMagic. The webinar teaches on how to select the software that is
right for the individual and how to transfer your files >from the old program
to the new program.

The webinar is available at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcRPsUVKwLk

I have no affiliation with any of the software products discussed nor the
NEHGS and this is being shared for the reader's information only.

I am organizing another group trip to Lithuania – June 28 to July 8, 2016.

If you are interested in tracing your roots in Lithuania, Latvia, Eastern
Poland close to Lithuania, or Belarus, now is the time to sign up because
we will be limiting the group size to 25.

Included - visits to the various archives, synagogues, ghettos, Holocaust
sites, meetings with Jewish leaders, sight-seeing, guide/interpreters, and
two days to visit and spend time in your shtetl, or shtetlach of interest.

All meals are included (except for one dinner and two lunches), the finest
hotels (new & modern), modern buses, and much more.
