( Society Meeting - This is a Hybrid Meeting! Join us In Person or via Zoom 1:30pm Eastern Time )
This Hybrid meeting event - free for members of JGSGW. Nonmembers may register in advance (Add To Cart) to attend in-person or via Zoom for a guest fee of $5.
Location: Beth El Hebrew Congregation, 3830 Seminary Road, Alexandria, VA 22304
Speaker: David Kathan is a long-time genealogist and a JGSGW member, with expertise in Colonial American genealogy, Jewish genealogy, and the use of DNA in genealogy.
Description: The Russian Jewish ancestry of the Gorceys was a mystery to the family until recently. Leo and Bernard Gorcey were famous movie and stage actors in the 1930-1950s and starred in the series of Dead End Kids and Bowery Boy films. They are also close relatives to my wife. This presentation will review the research steps and analysis required to find the original Gorcey surname and Russian town of origin. The talk will also cover the persistence required, and the research methodologies and sources used, particularly the FAN Principle.
