If the event is virtual, a Zoom link will be sent to registrants in advance of the event.
The charge for non-member guests for most, but not all, activities $5, as specified in JGSGW guest flyers, notifications, and on the Society's website. Online payment is made by credit card (transacted through Paypal) or directly with your Paypal account. Payments are not refundable.

 Sun, July 14, 2024 - Mapping Your Ancestors w/ Google MyMaps
Topic: Mapping your Ancestors with Google MyMaps
(Society Meetings - Zoom Only - 1:30 PM EDT)
Program Description: This presentation will teach you how to create a custom map using Google MyMaps, import location data associated with family history events or source records, and then customize the appearance of that data on the map. Custom maps can be used in many ways, including visually conveying family migration patterns, showing the location of regional cemeteries, or which towns hold certain vital records. Resulting maps can also be imported into Google Earth.
Speaker: Alex Calzareth is a genealogist focusing on Southwest Germany, the Czech Republic, and Southern Italy who began researching his family roots twenty-five years ago. He is a board member for Reclaim The Records and the Jewish Genealogy Society of Long Island, serving as JGSLI's webmaster. Alex is also the JewishGen Research Director for Germany. He lives in New York City and works as a CPA.
