eSefarad Noticias del Mundo Sefaradi
This more intimate workshop led by Genie Milgrom is intended for those that wish to fully delve into their past and find their Jewish Roots from the Iberian Peninsula. This workshop is for those whose families became Catholic as most of the searches will be geared towards the Catholic Church records.
Our Mentor – Genie Milgrom
Genie Milgrom was born in Havana, Cuba into a Roman Catholic Family of Spanish Ancestry . She was always interested in her family genealogy but when she learned of the possibility of having Converso Jewish Roots, her search for the truth about her family’s past took on a deeper significance. In an unparalleled work of genealogy, she was able to fully document her unbroken maternal lineage going back as far as 1480 to Pre Inquisition Spain and Portugal. She has travelled extensively into Fermoselle, the village of her ancestors in the Zamora region of Spain while doing field research on the past Jew of Fermoselle. She is currently the President of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami, President of Tarbut Sefarad-Fermoselle in Spain, and President to the Society of Crypto Judaic Studies at Colorado State University in Colorado Springs. She is the author of the book My 15 Grandmothers as well as How I found My 15 Grandmothers, A Step By Step Guide. Her work has been showcased in the Jerusalem Post, The Miami Herald and publications around the world. She was awarded the State of Florida Genealogy award for her outstanding achievements and advances in the Pioneer work she has done in Genealogy
