Am Hasefer: Jewish Genealogy, Jan 12, 2010

October 15, 2009

Sally & Seymour Olshin Adult Education Program

Nolan Altman

“Genealogy Workshop -

How to Research and Document Your Family History”

January 12, 2010, 7:45 pm

Great Neck Synagogue

The vast majority of our Jewish ancestors came to the United States during one of two great migrations; German Jews during the period 1820 - 1880 and a larger migration of Eastern

European Jews between 1880 and the early1920’s.  Starting with information that you know about yourself and your immediate family, our goal is to rediscover our ancestor’s history from the time our family came to the United States as well as trying to go back to the “old country”.  Mr. Altman will also discuss finding information on family members that did not come to America and may have been lost during the Holocaust.

Mr. Altman, a NY CPA, is currently the president of NTA Consulting, a financial services consulting firm specializing in hedge fund and asset management firms.  Prior to that, he served 8 years as CFO for the hedge fund complex at Tiger Management and for 16 years before that, Financial Services audit partner at Seymour Schneidman & Associates (subsequently merged into Anchin, Block and Anchin, LLP).  He currently serves on a number of hedge fund and philanthropic Boards.

Mr. Altman was bit by the “genealogy bug” when he was inspired to write his family history in 1996 in memory of his mother.  As Coordinator for JewishGen’s Holocaust Database and the JOWBR projects, Mr. Altman works with volunteers from around the world helping to grow both databases for the benefit of family members and researchers.  He has also made presentations and conducted computer workshops at the IAJGS annual conferences in Washington, D.C., New York City and Chicago.  He continues to present his “How to Document and Research Your Family History” seminar to adult and continuing education classes as well as university Holocaust and European history classes.  Mr. Altman has had articles published in Avotaynu, Dorot, Stammbaum, Shemot and the FEEFHS Journal.  He is a Board member and Treasurer of the JGS of Long Island, where he coordinates their Yearbook Project and is also a member of the JGS of New York.
