Barbara Rice began genealogy research while preparing for her grandmother’s 100th birthday celebration in 2010. Classes with Phyllis Kramer and Nancy Holden of JewishGen Education taught her to analyze and transcribe documents for clues to ancestors in the old country. She has been digging into her family research and making new discoveries ever since. Barbara is a National Board-Certified Teacher (NBCT) who was also recognized multiple times by her district and peers for the quality of her teaching. In addition to K-12 teaching, she also worked as an adjunct at a local university teaching preservice teachers for 15 years. Barbara currently serves as Vice-President of the Minnesota Jewish Genealogical Society (MNJGS) and teaches an online class for JewishGen Education on using JewishGen resources to research your family.
