GSBC General Meeting (Online!)
21st Century Italian Genealogy… with a New Jersey focus
Monday, 22 February @ 7pm (EST)
Free Online Webinar—All Experience Levels are Welcome

Presented by Michael Cassara

There has never been a better time to do Italian genealogical research! With more and more records now available online, this talk provides a strong overview for the beginning researcher, while including some lesser-known resources that will be of interest to even the most advanced researchers. In addition to providing an overview of Italian research, Michael will offer a special spotlight on Italian-American research in New Jersey. With deep Paterson roots, Michael has conducted extensive research throughout the Garden State. New Jersey's rich and under-utilized resources for Italian-American genealogy will be explored, with content specifically customized for the GSBC.
