ProGen Member Overview

Helping individuals and families reconnect with their roots, find their lost relatives, and tell their stories.

Jennifer Shoer is a professional genealogist passionate about researching and telling your family's Jewish or Eastern European (areas formerly Russian) origin story.

"I created Reconnecting Relatives®, LLC, to help clients trace their Jewish and Eastern European families back to their old countries. Genetic (DNA) and forensic genealogical research experience enable me to find relatives believed to have been lost in the Holocaust, identify their relationships with the client and trace connections to common ancestors and places.

All immigrant stories matter. Our ancestors bravely or desperately left or were forced from their homes and created new lives in new countries. Contact me to help you share your family's immigration story.

Through my active membership in the Association of Professional Genealogists, I have an extensive network of colleagues throughout the genealogy industry with whom I collaborate to best tell your family's story."


Education

From the 2009 inaugural class of the Boston University genealogy studies program to Empowering Genealogists with Artificial Intelligence through the National Genealogical Society in 2023, I have continued to learn and enhance my skills.
