[Yefim Kogan (yefimk]

Hi everybody,

I would like to remind all of you about our Bessarabia related sessions at the 
conference in Orlando:


Wednesday, July 26,  2:00-3.15pm     Bessarabia/Moldova: Questions and Answers  
(Pelican 2)
There are many complex questions of geography and history a genealogist, 
whether a beginner or an expert, may encounter in the search for family 
records. Questions may relate to archives, genealogical records, history, 
websites, etc. for the region of Bessarabia/Moldova. Yefim Kogan and Inna 
Vayner are going to lead this session. Please submit written questions in 
advance to the moderator (yefimk [at] verizon.net). We will choose questions 
that hold the most interest to the greatest number of researchers. Audience at 
the session will be invited to ask questions, too.

Please submit your questions to Yefim Kogan or Inna Vayner.  Ask any questions 
related to Bessarabia/Moldova region!


Wednesday, July 26, 3.30-4.45pm      Bessarabia SIG Progress and the Future   
(Pelican 2)
The meeting is open to anyone with roots or interest in the region historically 
known as Bessarabia, an area now comprising the Moldova Republic and parts of 
Ukraine. At the end of the 19th century and before the War, Bessarabia had 
significant Jewish presence. The Bessarabia SIG was organized at the end of 
2011 to help people in their Bessarabian genealogical research. Here are the 
topics we are going to discuss at the meeting: Progress Report; New Projects; 
Agreement with Miriam Weiner; Connections with FHL; How Odessa Holocaust Museum 
helps us; Current connection to Bessarabia Yefim Kogan and Inna Vayner, 
Bessarabia SIG Leaders and Coordinators.

We will talk about present and future projects.  Questions and good ideas are 
very welcome.

Please join us  (we will lead the sessions via SKYPE).
