The NGSGenealogy channel on YouTube presents Becoming a Genealogist: My Father’s Journey, with Janet A. Alpert, CG. Jan Alpert pays tribute to her father who brought her to genealogy through his search for his mother’s family. It is a story of a daughter’s love for her father and of her father’s devotion to the memory of his mother who died when he was three.

Jan is the immediate past president of NGS and served as chair of the annual NGS Family History Conference in Charleston, May 2011. She retired in 2004 from a thirty-five-year career in the title insurance industry.

Both videos are produced by Kate Geis and Allen Moore.
