In the past, our organization has helped with the promotion of webinars that the Los Angeles Public Library's Genealogy Garage puts on for the general public. Even though we are a Hispanic genealogy group, we promote the education and knowledge that one may obtain from these presentations. Who knows if your ancestors may have some connection to these areas. Since the courses are free in person and possibly online via YouTube or Facebook, we are letting our members know that these courses are available to you if you sign in to YouTube or Facebook. For more information, please communicate with the Library directly.
This upcoming Saturday, 4/15, from 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. PST, the Los Angeles Public Library is having a wonderful speaker discuss the changing borders of eastern Europe (with a focus on the expansion of Russia to the west). Presenter Hal Bookbinder has served as president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Los Angeles and of the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies. I've seen Hal do this presentation before (at the SCGS Jamboree) and it was AMAZING and memorable.
This Genealogy Garage will NOT be recorded, so you'll have to tell your members to tune in LIVE. On Saturday at 11, have them click this link: Genealogy Garage: The Changing Borders of Eastern Europe - YouTube or go to the Los Angeles Public Library's YouTube page.
