If your family history includes roots in Jewish Brooklyn but you aren’t sure where to start digging for more information, a virtual genealogy workshop can point you in the right direction.
The Center for Brooklyn History and the Center for Jewish History are coming together to provide an overview on exploring Jewish genealogy and to offer tips, tools and resources to guide your research journey. The upcoming free one-hour workshop is part of the Brooklyn Jewish History Project, an initiative to document the lives of Jewish Brooklynites through oral history and the scanning of family photographs and memorabilia.
The session takes place via Zoom from 10 to 11 a.m. on Friday, January 14. Online registration is required. For more information, check out the event page online.
