Zoom information will be sent out midweek, the WEEK BEFORE THE MEETING, to JGSMD members. Jack Williams was a father and grandfather who seemed to have no clear background. His descendants wanted to know where he came from. Did he have family? Was he really all alone in the world? Watch how basic DNA tests and research of paper records can reveal the identity of a man who left his family and birthplace in the early 20th century to create a new life in another part of the country. Lauren Shulsky Orenstein is a professional genealogist based in New York City. She has been researching family histories for almost 30 years, dating back to a time when finding a census entry was an arduous process involving city directories and endless scrolling through microfilm. She has been working professionally for over 12 years solving probate, property, DNA and family history questions.
