Program Description

Event Details

Genealogical Society of Rockland County meeting. Non-members always welcome to attend! Our program will be Adoption and the Search for Biological Family
This presentation will uncover ideas and tools to use to search for biological family including adoption agencies, applying for information, and DNA testing. Our presenter will be Eric Migdal, who has been doing family history research for over 28 years, assisting clients with family tree building, DNA test analysis, as well as safely and effectively contacting unknown family members. As an adoptee, he spent many years searching for his biological family with very few results. His starting information was wrong and some assumed information was also incorrect. Mr. Migdal did DNA testing to assist with finding the truth about his family and it ultimately lead him to the correct family. This program will be presented online through Zoom, after registration you'll receive a Zoom link via email.
