The Israel Genealogy Research Association (IGRA) is beginning a series of webinars. The first two will be given by Pamela Weisberger.
Join us on May 30, at 7:00 pm Israel time*, for "Exploring the Archives: Unique and Unusual Resources in Galician Research"
In this digital genealogical age, we need to remember that not everything is online. Learn about the exciting (and unusual) treasures available in archives and libraries in Vienna, Ternopil, Lviv and Krakow. Learn about documents dating from the late 1700s through the interwar years, such as the Lviv family registration books, 1920s and 30s voter lists, Jewish taxpayer records, and Lvov (Lemberg) and Jagellonian University student records to magnate landowner records like a 1801 list of "Jewish Tavern Owners." You'll view examples from the Jewish Galician holdings in the Vienna State Archives including kahal records and court cases--many with signatures of your ancestors-and province-wide inventories listing rabbis and cantors from every shtetl that had a Jewish congregation. Find an ancestor in the lists of Jewish schoolteachers assigned to the German-Jewish schools in 1788 - the point in Galician history when Jews were required to adopt family surnames. An update on the All Galicia Database and Gesher Galicia's cadastral map program will also be provided along with a step-by-step look at how to conduct research at all of these archives.
Space is limited. Reserve your Webinar seat now at: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/554270926

On June 4, at 8:00 pm Israel time*, the Webinar is titled - "Chutes & Ladders: Innovative Approaches to Genealogy".
In this interactive lecture you'll learn from Pamela Weisberger how to navigate your genealogical game-board using imaginative strategies and unusual databases. Climb ladders and scale brick walls by cleverly manipulating Google, Facebook, Fundrace, PrivateEye, Geni, ProQuest and Zabasearch. Locate M.I.A. relatives using real estate, court and bank records. Clues abound if you know where to look. Get out your detective's notepad and practice your powers of deduction to complete your ancestral jigsaw puzzle. This talk will be more enlightening (and fun) than a barrel of monkeys. Everybody wins!
