Details: Brooke Schreier Ganz founder of Reclaim the Records, a not-for-profit activist group of more than 6,400 genealogists, researchers, historians, and journalists, will present how they use Freedom of Information laws – and sometimes even lawsuits – to obtain copies of previously inaccessible archival record sets, which they then put online for free public use. They have won the first-ever public and online access to more than twenty-eight million archival records, including the New York City marriage license index (1908-2017), the New York State death index (1880-1956), the New Jersey marriage index (1901-2016), and they have an ongoing lawsuit for the Missouri birth and death index (1910-present). This presentation will explain how they accomplished this, as well as the history and legal basics of FOI laws, and will teach researchers how to file requests for any records that may help their own family tree research.

05 February 2020 | Family History Today: Jewish Students, Medical Globetrotters, and Persevering Women | New York, New York | |
Details: Date and Time: Wednesday, February 5, 6:30 PM Location: Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16th St., New York, NY 10011 At first, aspiring Jewish men from Galicia, Lithuania, and elsewhere ventured to Padua University to study medicine when other schools across Europe refused their admission. Then, from the end of the eighteenth century onward, Jews from Galicia attended Habsburg universities—from Lemberg/Lwów and Kraków, to Vienna, Pest and Prague. Many nineteenth-century Jewish medics influenced Galician life beyond their profession, advocating educational, religious and civic reforms. At the turn of the twentieth century, Jewish women were at the forefront of newly won access to university education, changing societal and family norms. This presentation will take us across the countries and continents, with genealogical information illustrated by unique archival records, newspaper accounts, and maps. You don’t have to have medical practitioners among your ancestors to find this topic interesting and helpful in your family history research. About the Speaker: Andrew Zalewski is a former professor of medicine at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He is the vice president of Gesher Galicia, a non-profit organization devoted to genealogical and historical research on Galicia. Andrew Zalewski has also authored two books on Austrian Galicia: Galician Trails: The Forgotten Story of One Family and Galician Portraits: In Search of Jewish Roots. An ASL interpreter may be made available if requested in advance. Tickets: $10 general admission; $5 Center for Jewish History/Partner members, seniors, and students. Note: Our programs frequently sell out. It is highly recommended that you purchase tickets in advance. This program is sponsored by the Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute and Gesher Galicia. It is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. | |||
