Introducing the JewishGen Crypto Jewish Collection by Genie Milgrom – 11 NOV 2020, 3pm. Est – USA

Up until now it has been extremely difficult for those trying to trace their ancestors dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries during the Inquisition since many Jews were forced to convert, change their names and assume Christian identities in order to save themselves from death sentences. Many of these Jews were exiled from Spain and later Portugal and scattered throughout Europe and Latin America. In this presentation, Genie Milgrom will describe the data she has spent more than 15 years compiling, and how it can be access through JewishGen.
