Lost & Found: The Amazing Family Tree

By Irene Kaminsky

This book is full of loveof history and family. There are eight contributors from many cities and countries whose stories reflect the social and political upheavals of the previous century. There are snapshot portraits painted of people going back sixteen generations. The first is David Mitzkun, circa 1580, from Lithuania. The family tree was translated from Hebrew by a genealogist who created a descendants report with most of the names and dates of these sixteen generations. The youngest is a toddler in the newest generation.

There are photos from the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries as well as historical documents. Included in the book is the story of recovery of the tree drawn by the authors great-grandfather and family members who found one another as result. This wonderful story has been televised as well as printed as a front page article of a New Jersey newspaper in 2014.

Irene Kaminsky

The author is a psychologist who has published three research articles in professional journals prior to this personal journey. The author discovered many relatives in several countries because of a family tree that her great-grandfather drew. It had been lost and then resurfaced in an antique store, bought by what turned out to be her fifth cousin. She had reconciled herself to having a small family because many of her parents’ generation had perished in the holocaust or fled to parts unknown. It was a happy surprise to actually find cousins who were enthusiastic to contribute to this book. The author lives in New York City with her husband and her dog, Kasha.
