WHEREVER I GO IN THIS WORLD, AS LONG AS I’M PART OF A JEWISH COMMUNITY, I’M HOME.” - EMILY The Flip Side of Genealogy How often have you regretted not engaging in conversation with your older family members to learn of their past and memories? David Kendall, author of When Descendants Become Ancestors, the featured speaker at the Wednesday, October 5 meeting of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Cleveland, will share how our own life experiences are genealogical sources to record and preserve for future use. In his book, Dr. Kendall notes: “As we research our own ancestors and mourn the lack of information available to us, we forget that we are the future ancestors of our descendants. And if we don’t leave to them the kinds of information about our lives that we crave to know about our own forefathers, then we are merely perpetuating the problem.” David Kendall, Ph.D., was raised in a small tourist village of fewer than 2,000 inhabitants on the Canadian border of northern New York State, to which he returned in retirement. Dr. Kendall is a graduate of Cornell University with a major in government and a specialization in international relations. When Descendants Become Ancestors: The Flip Side of Genealogy is his first book – inspired by his great-grandmother’s 1865 diary. Dr. Kendall’s book will be available at the meeting. The Jewish Genealogy Society of Cleveland meets on the first Wednesday evening of the month starting at 7:30 pm in the Miller Board Room at Menorah Park. Board members are available from 7 pm to assist with individual research questions. Guests are welcome. RSVP to Programming@ClevelandJGS.org. WHATEVER INSPIRES YOU, IT’S HAPPENING HERE.
