The Making of a Mosaic: European Migrant Journeys during the Age of Steam - Part 2

February 14th: The Journey to America – This talk will illustrate the details of both the direct and indirect routes enabling Europeans to reach the American eastern seaboard.
.

Dr. Evans, a migrant historian, will explore questions such as ‘why did so many Europeans leave?’ ‘What was the journey really like?’ Why when an ancestor arrived at Ellis Island did they settle in the mid-west?’

Registration is required to attend this free virtual program.  The link can be found at Upcoming Events – Northeast Indiana Jewish Genealogy Society (neindianajgs.org) .
