Jewish genealogical research has unique challenges. It is often very difficult to determine our Eastern European ancestor's names because the spelling is inconsistent after immigration. The places they were born or resided are also recorded in various ways and determining where the place(s) were is often elusive. Dates also are often inconsistent and seem to change from document to document. This presentation will discuss and describe some of the challenges and resources which will aid in resolving the inconsistencies.
