Please join us at the November program of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Maryland, which will be held on Sunday, November 23, 2014, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., at the Pikesville Library�s meeting room, 1301 Reisterstown Road. Lara Diamond will give two mini-talks: 1) She will first present �Finding a Family�s Town: A Case Study,� which describes how she was able to find her ancestors� town of origin�which was quite far from where family lore had placed it. Finding that town enabled her to trace that branch back to the mid-1700s. 2) She will also present �Beyond Ancestry.com: It Isn't All Online!� and will show some examples of documents not available online�which often tell the best stories of family members. These documents include old court records, land records, Eastern European census records, shul journals, newspapers, and more. Lara Diamond is currently Vice President of the JGSMD and will take office as President of the group in January 2015. The program is free for paid members and $5 for non-members (applied to membership fee when a visitor joins JGSMD) after their first meeting. Refreshments will be available. Please check our web site at www.jgsmd.org for late updates and for the time, location, and program of future meetings.
