Using Technology & the Web to creatively record, research and share my Family History. Social media, Facebook, YouTube, DNA, Online Trees, ...all played a role in restoring branches of my genealogy tree torn apart by the Holocaust.

New Discovery: Document found on Mom's History
Josh Korman sent me this link to my mom's home town: Elberfeld, Wuppertal Germany's synagogue http://alte-synagoge-wuppertal.de/index.php?id=13&L=1. There I found a document listing all Jewish people buried in the cemetery there. I found my mom's mother - Grandma Screnca Bugaisky, my mom's little sister Elli, and my mom's cousin Rosa Gelkopf. Ellie died of meningitis, in October 1929 at the age of 4. Three months later Screnza died at a clinic after a medical procedure to enable her to have another child. Coincidently 3 months later cousin Rosa died during childbirth.
