     The presentation is "Grandpa Can You Hear Me".
                                               by Harriet "Hart" Hoffman

     How you find your ancestors that died before you were born and get to know them.   Harriet Goodman Hoffman's grandfather, Joseph J Goodman, died before she was born. The family never talked about him. She knew nothing about him. In fact, his real surname was Chernoff. He had adopted an alias.   Harriet will take you on the remarkable journey of research and discovery which includes genealogical technique. After finding her grandfather and the remarkable book he wrote and published in 1919 she was encouraged to republish his book, edited and appended by her.    You will be entertained, enlightened and inspired with this presentation. It is an opportunity not to be missed!
