An archaeologist by training (B.A., and M.A.), Emily H. Garber has been researching her Jewish ancestry since 2007 and holds a certificate from Boston University's Genealogical Research program. In 2013 she traveled to Ukraine to visit archives and family villages.
Emily is a blogger (http://www.extrayad.blogspot.com), chair of the Phoenix Jewish Genealogy Group and owner of Extra Yad Genealogical Services.
When several communities in Eastern Europe have similar names and their names have been changed over the years, it may be difficult to unambiguously identify one’s family shtetl of origin. Emily presented The Genealogical Proof Standard, which provides the rigor necessary when conducting genealogical research. She also point out resources including landsmanshaft burial data, online archival material, and Shoah databases.
