Dear JGSLI Members and friends,

Speaker: Gary Pokrassa
Topic: Navigating Alex Krakovsky’s Wiki
Alex Krakovsky has been using Ukraine’s freedom of information laws to force archives throughout his country to allow him to scan records and post them online. Gary Pokrassa will describe how to navigate Alex’s wiki to locate town records. He will also describe the Ukraine Research Division's projects to capture and translate Alex’s scanned files on the JewishGen server -- including index files for Kiev, Zhitomir and Elizavetgrad.
