Interviews Step one in documenting a family is interviewing living members of the family. They can supply names, dates and places of their ancestors. Interviewing is an art. Often the person being interviewed claims they no nothing. Pictured here is Donna Tartasky interviewing Gerard Hebert at the 19th International COnference on Jewish Genealogy held in New York in the summer of 1999. Gerard supplied information about his branch. His grandmother, Leah Tartasky Hosansky, was a daughter of Yechaskel Tartasky.
