  1. Lara Diamond's blog is now called "Lara's Jewnealogy," although the URL (https://larasgenealogy.blogspot.com) has not changed. You might also want to add Marilyn Robinson's "Jewish Gem's Genealogy: Mining for Your Elusive Ancestors" (yourjewishgem.blogspot.com) and "Rivka's Yiddish" (www.rivkasyiddish.com) to your blogroll.

Comments on posts are always welcome but will be approved before posting. I actually prefer to just let people comment without going through this rigmarole, but I've recently had to delete some posts that I had not vetted before publication. So, please don't be offended. I love to hear from you!
