When you submit your questions\, there might be a request for consent to potentially share your screen\, DNA match names\, and family tree members. This sharing enables others to learn from the techniques used by our experts. Please be sure to include comprehensive details with your question\, highlighting your previous research.

This deadline ensures that our mavens can contact you for any extra information\, if required.\n \n\nGil Bardige\, originally from Chicago\, has been a genealogist for over 40 years and a genetic genealogist since 2007.  He has tested at the 4 major testing companies and is the Co-Administrator of 3 projects at FTDNA including Jewish R1B and R-A11711 Subclade Projects.  He is Chair of the Columbus Ohio JGS\, a volunteer at IAJGS Conferences (including the Program Committee)\, and Director of the Mentoring Program.  Gil is a firm believer that you can use DNA results as a tool in your genealogy research.  Over the last five years\, he has regularly helped people navigate their DNA matches by speaking at dozens of Jewish genealogical societies. After his presentations\, people say: “Thank you\, Gil\, I am no longer confused!”\nArthur Sissman\, from Naples FL\, has been engaged in family history genealogy since 1999 and genetic genealogy (DNA) since 2015. Arthur has built over 60 family history trees for his various family surname lines. In addition\, he has tested his autosomal DNA at all the major DNA testing companies\, and his Y-DNA and MtDNA at FamilyTreeDNA.  Using his 3 Legged Stool Protocol – focusing on Surname\, Place and DNA\, Arthur has found relatives previously unknown to him and has built a current tree out to 1500 people\, from Galicia/Romania\, with over 50+ DNA matches across all branches. For information on Arthur’s Jewish Genealogy SIG monthly meetings and scheduled workshops\, email genresearch13@yahoo.com.\n\n\nTo register for the DNA SIG event \, please go to jgstoronto.ca/register.

SUMMARY:Classi Lectures     book     In the Land of the Postscript
DESCRIPTION:Classi Lectures \nGoldie Morgantaler on her mother Chava Rosenfarb and Rosenfarb’s book In the Land of the Postscript \nWednesday\, 8 November 2023\, 4 pm  \nAs part of our continued partnership with Classi Lectures\, JGS Toronto members can attend the Chava Rosenfarb lecture at no cost. To discover how culture and learning unite through online lectures and in-person travels\, please visit Classi Learning. \nChava Rosenfarb (1923–2011) was one of the most important Yiddish novelists and writers of the second half of the 20th century. She was a survivor of the Lodz ghetto\, Auschwitz\, and Bergen Belsen. She settled in Montreal after the war and spoke in these stories from personal experience at the same time as she allowed her imagination to inhabit the minds of characters far different from herself. \nAs a way of marking 100 years since the birth of the great Yiddish novelist and poet the Polish city of Łódź — the city of her birth — has declared 2023 The Year of Chava Rosenfarb. \nRosenfarb was the recipient of numerous international literary prizes for her novels\, mostly about the Holocaust\, including the Itzik Manger Prize\, Israel’s highest award for Yiddish literature\, the Canadian Jewish Book Award\, and the John Glassco Prize for Literary Translation. \nRosenfarb was one of the few Holocaust survivors who transformed their experiences into works of fiction rather than memoirs. Her best-known work\, Der boym fun lebn (The Tree of Life)\, is about ten Jews from Łódź and how they fared in the Nazi-run Łódź ghetto. \nHer story cannot be told without including her marriage to Henry Morgentaler – Canada’s leading physician-advocate in the fight for abortion rights. \nGoldie Morgentaler translated “In the Land of the Postscript” and is a Canadian Yiddish-to-English literary translator as well as a professor of English literature. She currently holds a professorship at the University of Lethbridge\, where she teaches 19th-century British and American literature as well as modern Jewish literature. \n  \nRegistration \nJGS Toronto Members: Free.
