It is said that today is tomorrow’s yesterday. It seems that every year, more and more information about lives can be searched on the internet. I was surprised that with a few well placed clicks I was able to quickly find digital copies of my great grandparent’s immigration documents from Ellis Island as well as detailed US census information about where they and their seven children lived in 1920. I found my grandparent’s wedding announcement, my parents High School yearbook, ancient family photos and newspaper articles and more. Then I began to think about what kind of digital footprint am I building for my great grandchildren?
The Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs (FJMC) Jewish Genealogy Affinity group is a place where you can share stories about your family and learn the resources and tools to help you dig deep down to the roots of your family tree. Genealogy provides a process for passing your identity to your offspring, and for experiencing “today” in the perspective of your family history. The FJMC Jewish Genealogy Affinity Group is open to both men and women, from beginner to expert.
