Still Time To Register! Tracing Your Jewish Roots

This workshop will provide an overview of resources and research techniques that address the unique challenges faced by genealogists looking for their Jewish ancestors from German-speaking Europe. The Workshop will cover sources that are available online and those that are not, focusing on specifically Jewish records such as name change documents, Matrikel lists, cemetery records, and "Schutzgeld" tax documents. As more Jewish records become available to the public, a successful family researcher needs to be a good detective and follow many leads.
