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.
