Have a Family History Success Story you’d Like to Share? Ancestry.com Wants to Hear About It!

Over the next few months, Ancestry.com and Museum of Jewish Heritage affiliate JewishGen are working together to share the personal successes that many have experienced in tracing their Jewish heritage. Their goal is to help the public realize, through these individual accounts, the reality of exploring Jewish genealogy and the many resources available to do so. Beyond that, their hope is that others can experience the thrill of discovering their own Jewish heritage. If you would like to share a story about your own defining moment piecing together your Jewish genealogy, they want to hear from you!

Ancestry.com is looking for vignettes (500 words or less) that describe your experience when you came across that amazing Jewish genealogy discovery or find. They are looking for details such as whom or what information you found; how you made the discovery; and why the discovery was important in your family. Please email your stories no later than Sept. 26th to Sara Black with Ancestry.com.
