Ton Tielen in conversation. Free Sephardic World meeting, Sunday 20th November 2022.Ton Tielen is the recognised expert in the Sephardic genealogy community. This week, in conversation with David Mendoza, he will be invited to give a top-down view of Western Sephardic historical and genealogical research.What we have learned over recent years? For example, in estimating population numbers? Are genealogists now ahead of historians? Are Sephardic studies seen through an Ashkenazi prism? What is the impact of the crypto-Judaism movement on serious research? Have the nationality laws in Spain and Portugal been a help or a hinderance? What is the impact of technologies such as genetic research, Transkribus (machine reading of manuscripts) and Geographical Information Systems? What are the big unsolved questions in Sephardic genealogy? What should be our next steps?This meeting is on Sunday 20 November 2022 at 11am in LA, 2pm NYC, 7pm London, 8pm Paris/Amsterdam and 9pm Jerusalem. Patrons can join us on Zoom.
