March 18, Sunday, 1–4pm, Memorial LIBRARY, room 231
Instructor: Fran Loeb Luebke
Co-sponsored by the University of Wisconsin–Madison Mosse/Weinstein Center for Jewish Studies.
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.
Fran Loeb Luebke has a Masters degree in history and has been tracing and tracking her own ancestors for over 35 years.
