Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.

Research on the Migration of Lithuanian Jews
Nathan Shapiro, a student at Hofstra University in New York, is writing an honors thesis about the migration of Lithuanian Jews during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As part of his research, he wants to interview the descendants of Jews who emigrated from Lithuania during this time. Ideally, he is looking to interview people who are one generation removed from the emigrant. If you fit these criteria, or if you know someone who does, please contact Nathan at nathan.shapiro@me.com. His research is not focused on any specific destination, so he is looking for interviewees from anywhere in the world!
