ANNOUNCING A GREAT SUCCESS! Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami Event - Who are you and who are your ancestors? A March 25, 2024 presentation for the Oakmonte Village in Davie Florida

 

The residents enjoyed a special event at the Oakmonte Village in Davie, Florida.

After an introduction to genealogy research and the importance of telling your story to family members, a senior resident was surprised to be selected as "Queen for a Day".

The results of genealogical research for the "Queen for a Day" were shared with the audience.

The program was a great success. Oakmonte Village residents requested that we return for an additional presentation.

David Light and Paulette Bronstein (JGSGM president) shared a special genealogy program at Oakmonte Senior Village.
