SUMMARY:JGST Virtual Event - Brick Walls and Breakthroughs
DESCRIPTION:Every year in June JGS Toronto invites 4 members to share their breakthroughs. \nBRICK WALLS AND BREAKTHROUGHS\nWednesday\, June 22\, 2022 at 7:30 pm \nKenneth Golish\, a lawyer\, Bathurst Manor raised\, lives with his family in Windsor.  He has been working on his family tree for over twenty years. Kenneth has recently resolved the history of “The Sisters Kirszenbaum”. A returned letter addressed to a Harvey Wolman\, dated 1946\, was not found until long after the death of Ken’s father. This bittersweet discovery of previous relatives unknown\, led to family who were living in London\, England. \nRuth Chernia\, is the current VP\, Membership Services at JGS Toronto and is Editor of Shem Tov.  She is a publishing consultant specializing in production editing.  Ruth’s area of expertise is in non-fiction.  “DNA to the Rescue”:  Ruth’s husband’s maternal history has been complicated by a murder\, separations and immigration to Canada in 1913.  There are also no surviving records from their town. Ruth’s discovery of a 1920 Form 30A record provided the only clue for her husband’s grandmother’s family surname.  Recent DNA testing led to the discovery of new found cousins. \nGerri C.\, a journalist\, author and retired university professor\, has been working on her family tree since the 1970s. She presents “DNA\, Archives and Not Giving Up”\, three stories of recent successes\, entitled: Ukraine: The Mysterious Mark; Ukraine: Bluma Who?\, and Poland: Samuel and the family business. Gerri shares her strategies and tools used in the research of her ancestors’ journey to the USA. \nRegister at www.jgstoronto.ca/register  \nPlease keep the acknowledgement email when you receive it as it contains your personalized link to join the Zoom meeting. \nThe presentation will be recorded. It will be available to JGS Toronto members in the “Members Only” section of the Society website\, a few days after the event.

SUMMARY:JGS Toronto Event *** Cancelled "He thought that his family was wiped out in the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Due to illness Mr. Cilevitz has had to cancel.  Please monitor our website for a rescheduling of this event. \nRalph Cilevitz will relate the story of how he discovered new connections and relatives.  If you will be viewing from home go to http://oldsite-2022-10.jgstoronto.ca/register \nThere are over 75\,000 descendants of the same man\, Aba Kukla\, who lived in a tiny shtetl in Lithuania in the late 1700s. His nine children went on to produce large families of their own\, creating a sprawling family tree that\, only now\, with the advent of DNA testing\, can be fully visualized. \nRalph has made it his mission to track down all possible relatives in Canada and abroad. His tree is still growing. It may now be the largest documented Ashkenazi family in the world.
