    Ellen, Great job, but I would not have expected less from you.

  • 03.03.10

    Very insprirational makes you feel like you are missing the oportuny to start to research your roots our roots of the great jewish family.

    An excellent and interesting video. Thanks so much

    Anyone with Jewish roots can benefit from learning more about their origins, and it makes the world a smaller place when we see how much we have in common. This worthwhile endeavor is made easier by people like Ellen who tirelessly provide direction on where to start and how to keep motivated. There is no better example of a "Jew that Does" than a Jewish genealogist who helps us all connect to our roots and to one another. I am inspired by this video to do more for myself, my family and others.Thank you Ellen for spreading the information and inspiration onto others across age groups, borders and levels of interest.

    I have been involved in the search for my family roots as well as my friends' family trees for the last 5 years.
    After viewing this video, all the thoughts that have entered my mind at one time or another were beautifully expressed in this video.
    Good luck
