*Publish or Perish - Create Your Family Newsletter with Microsoft Publisher*

Sunday, August 7, 9:00 to 10:30 a.m.

Banai Lynn Feldstein
Feldstein Genealogy Services

All genealogists must eventually compile their family research in an organized fashion and publish in order to share it with their relatives. Banai has been publishing a family newsletter for more than ten years and she will show you how to use Microsoft Publisher to create your own. Banai will teach some of the basics of using the program and offer tips for how to compile the data into a newsletter you will be proud to share with your relatives. General computer literacy is a prerequisite.

*Record Searching with IGRA*

Sunday, August 7, 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

Garri Regev

Finding records for relatives who passed through or lived in Israel (or Eretz Yisrael) can be challenging. The Israel Genealogy Research Association has been indexing, digitizing and preparing databases from materials available in many of the Archives in Israel and some located elsewhere. With the language challenge there is a bilingual search engine and filters to help focus on specific areas. Join Garri in a hands on workshop emphasizing how to make the most of this unusual collection. Part of the time will also relate to the Montefiore census records that do not actually sit on the IGRA site but can be accessed through a link. Beneficial for all interested in research in this area of the world.
