GSBC Trustee, Fred J. Voss
“All I Have is a Photo…”
April 12, 2:00 - 3:30 PM
You: “I can’t find my great grandfather’s Ellis Island ship manifest record.”
Me: “What do you know about him?”
You: “All I have is a photo…”
And so begins a research journey about a Polish immigrant and his family. Join Mr. Voss as he shows you his approach to working this case study. From the clues in a single photo, to discovering indexes, manifests and records, to finding some answers, and (of course) more questions.
