Why you should examine original records, and how to find them
Presented by Russ Maurer

As an experienced researcher, volunteer translator, and Coordinator for Records Acquisition & Translation for LitvakSIG, our speaker is all too familiar with the ways that a translated record may not fully or accurately reflect the original. In this talk he will show you what you might be missing if you don't examine original records. He will also offer some tips for locating online records if they are not directly linked to an index.

In addition to his other activities, Russ is a member of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Cleveland and serves as a member of the Board and Research Chair.

This program will be free and open to the public, but space may be limited.
Priority will be given to members of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Cleveland.
We will be using the Zoom app, so you may watch, listen and participate from the comfort of your own home.
