About Me

I am a professional genealogist with a special interest in Jewish ancestry in Galicia, particularly modern day Poland.  My research and analytical skills were honed in my initial career as a physician.  My passion for genealogy emerged as I saw the preceding generation aging and realized the importance of preserving our ancestor's stories.
