SUMMARY:From Rolodex to Records: The Secrets Beneath the Candy Shop
DESCRIPTION:AGS Kitchen Roundtable; Presented by Wendy Citron \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Wendy guides attendees through the intricate world of Jewish genealogical research—where languages shift\, borders blur\, and myths that “all the records were lost” persist. Drawing from her own family’s extraordinary journey—one that began with a simple question and ultimately revealed a family secret tied to Murder\, Inc.\, the infamous Jewish Mafia—she demonstrates how persistence and methodical research can uncover truth in the most unexpected places. \n\n\n\nYou will learn essential strategies for Jewish genealogical research—how to successfully overcome gaps in sources and records\, interpret shifting identities\, and follow clues across languages\, cultures\, and time. You will also gain an understanding of how to piece together fragmented stories\, trace Ashkenazic roots hidden under “Russian” or “Polish” labels\, and bring to light the vibrant histories once thought irretrievable. \n\n\n\nRegistration is required. The link is coming soon! \n\n\n\nWendy Citron is a professional genealogist\, artist\, and educator specializing in Jewish and Eastern European research. She serves as a Research Specialist at the FamilySearch Library and as an administrator with the JewishGen Ukraine Research Division’s Data Acquisition Team. Wendy is also the founder of two professional genealogy communities: the Ukraine Genealogy Alliance\, focused on resource sharing\, education\, and collaborative efforts for research\, and Geniends\, a professional genealogist networking group that supports mentorship and shared expertise. Her research also extends to a one-name study in West Limerick\, Ireland\, where she integrates genetic genealogy\, advanced digital tools\, and traditional research to reconstruct interconnected family networks and migration patterns.
