A simple Facebook post led Jennifer Mendelsohn to fall down the genealogy rabbit h ole. She will detail how her genealogical and DNA sleuthing has helped reunite long lost family members, debunked decades-old family fairy tales (did you know no names were changed at Ellis Island?), and led to shocking, poignant, and sometimes hilarious revelations. She will share some tips on how you can get started on your own journey to your family’s past.

This event will take place on Zoom (in-person availability to be determined).

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required at https://bit.ly/mercazspeakers
