Her findings have received international media attention\, such as mentions in The Daily Mail\, Washington Post\, AP News\, TODAY\, People\, and The Times of Israel\, and she has made appearances on several news outlets such as NPR and I24NEWS. She co-founded the Holocaust Reunion Project\, a program to raise awareness about the potential of DNA testing within the Holocaust survivor community and provide survivors and their children with commercial DNA tests.

Locating Your Late 19th-Early 20th Century Ancestor’s Ship ManifestThis workshop will provide tools to locate a ship manifest or border crossing to the U.S. (and some Canada) between the late 19th-early 20th centuries.

On your right\, you will see a big granite sign that reads “Cumberland Monastery.”  This marks the entrance to the Monastery grounds where the library is located.  Turn right at Monastery Drive.  The library is set far back from the main road. About 1/2 hour from Providence. \nFrom elsewhere\, set the mapping product of your choice to 1464 Diamond Hill Road (Route 114). The library is set far back from Route 114\, on Monastery Road.

Proceed all the way around Monastery Drive to the Hayden Center’s parking lot. There will be signage inside directing you to our meeting room. \nThe library will be open from 9am to 5pm on the 7th\, so feel free to spend some time before or after our event exploring its collections or its wonderful grounds. \n\nHybrid and Virtual Meetings are recorded and available to RIGS members on our website.
