Reflections on 2019 Katz Family Reunion:
Lessons Learned

the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!

What was I thinking? There hadn’t been an official Katz family reunion
since 1905, and I hadn’t lived in Cleveland for years. The IAJGS annual
conference was announced for Cleveland and I was inspired. Would there be
any interest in a larger family group meeting around the conference and
how could we connect with the WRHS Research Library that held our Katz archive?
It was January 6, 2019 and the conference started on July 28. Clearly, there
was much work to be done but not an impossible task. The larger question,
of course, and one that we all need to ask as modern genealogists is: Why
plan a family reunion? Is there any value in bringing our past to our future
and at what costs? Please join us to learn about one family’s reunion journey
and bring your questions for honest conversation about “how-to’s,” next
steps and lessons learned.

Please Note that the March meeting will be
on a Wednesday evening and will be held at Menorah Park, due to a scheduling conflict.
