On January 19, 2020 we were treated to a lecture by Nolan Altman at the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. The topic was:
Patronymic Naming and
Cemetery Records
Their Importance in
Jewish Genealogy
Yoram Millman (JGSGM VP Programming), Nolan Altman (VP of Data Acquisition of JewishGen.org), Paulette Bronstein (JGSGM President), and Ed Schwartz (JGSGM Treasurer)
" Nolan is the Vice
President of Data Acquisition of JewishGen. Mr. Altman coordinates JewishGen's JOWBR (JewishGen's
Online Worldwide Burial Registry), Memorial Plaque and Holocaust databases. He
has presented his introductory genealogy and Importance of Jewish Burial
Records programs at the university level and to numerous adult education
classes and social groups." (Jewishgen.org)
Quoting
the speaker
“With a presentation on cemetery
records you wouldn’t expect to leave laughing, but I guarantee you will!”
