Welcome
About Me
- Susan Weinberg
- Susan Weinberg both researches and paints her family history. Susan's genealogy research focuses upon Poland, the Ukraine and Belarus. This blog began with her travels to Vilnius, Lithuania where she studied Yiddish at the Vilnius Yiddish Institute. Since then it has followed her travels to her ancestral towns and her research in Eastern European archives. Susan has created Kehila links (websites on ancestral towns) for Dunilovichi, Belarus and Radom, Poland. She develops artwork on family and cultural history and has exhibited her work nationally and internationally. Currently she is working on artwork for the Jewish Identity and Legacy project, an oral history project based in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Susan does genealogy consulting and lectures frequently on genealogy topics.
