Family history has been one of the most rewarding journeys of my life. Every document, photograph, and forgotten record has added another piece to the story of those who came before us.

I'd love to help you experience that same sense of discovery. If you've ever wanted to learn more about your family's journey—or help preserve it for your children and grandchildren—I hope you'll join me.

Please share this announcement with anyone who enjoys history, family stories, or solving mysteries. I look forward to meeting many new family historians!

If you have any questions about the class or genealogy research in general, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I'd be happy to hear from you.

Many of us know Woody Guthrie as the writer of "This Land Is Your Land," but I was fascinated to learn about his deep connection to Jewish history and culture through his wife Marjorie Mazia and her mother, the renowned Yiddish poet Aliza Greenblatt. This fascinating article reveals an unexpected chapter in the life of one of America's greatest folk musicians. I think many genealogy and Jewish history enthusiasts will enjoy reading it.
