In Search of the Bresslers
By David Ari Klein: “In Search of the Bresslers” is a case study spanning 20 years of research into a family story about a visit from Bressler cousins of unknown names and connection to David Ari’s family. Using almost every traditional genealogy tool plus DNA evidence, he takes us on a tour of sleuthing to uncover the story of the Bresslers and his connection to them. David Ari Klein started his family genealogy research 50 years ago when he was given a small family tree from his uncle, and he has been researching ever since, with a current tree of 2900 plus family members. He got his original academic training as a linguist and social anthropologist at the University of Chicago, Hyde Park and has approached genealogy from a social historian's point of view.
