On October 8, Joan Adler will be speaking at a meeting of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Los Angeles about the West Coast piece of the Straus Family. One large branch of the Straus family moved from the Rheinpfalz area of Germany to the northern most parts of Washington State, where their experiences differed greatly from what they had known back in Germany but also from those of their German immigrant counterparts who settled in the eastern United States. This colorful bunch showed its spunk by accepting, even embracing, the rugged and often difficult life of a Jewish immigrant in the American frontier. Using their stories Joan will show how to flesh out the lives of these people by writing vignettes about them and how to publish these stories in book form or post them on a family Web page with photographs where available. This presentation is based on one she gave last summer at the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Society Conference in Seattle.
The October 8th presentation will be held at the American Jewish University, Burton Sperber Jewish Community Library, 15600 Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90077. Doors open at 1pm and the program will be from 1:30 - 4pm. Members are free. Guests are $5.
