Rachel is a professional genealogist specializing in Jewish family research in the United States and Eastern Europe. Her own family’s history led her to study the Jewish immigrant experience in depth. Her expertise in online resources, along with many years of multi-linguistic studies, allow her to make the most of digital records from around the world. As the founder of Silverman Genealogy Services, she greatly enjoys working with private clients to revive the stories of their ancestors long forgotten. Rachel has a BA from New York University, and is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and the Jewish Genealogical Society of NY. She lives in Manhattan with her husband, two sons, and one very lucky black cat.
