Come and enjoy “Cemetery Research in Genealogy” by Mark A. J. Szep. 

The Morris Area Genealogy Society invites the public to a free presentation on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 at 7 pm in the Morris County Library. Refreshments begin at 6:30 pm.

Mark A.J. Szep is a long-time Essex County, New Jersey resident. A college history project in the 1990’s was the catalyst for his love of genealogy and family history. Focusing on his grandparents, the class required him to interview relatives, research newspaper articles and develop a narrative of their lives. He’s been hooked on family history ever since. Now well over 15 years later, Mark continues to research and explore his family’s origins in Germany, Ireland, Galicia (Poland), Austrian-Silesia (Czech Republic) and Slovakia. Mark has visited libraries, archives, walked through countless cemeteries, and spent many a late night on the computer to uncover old ancestors, new cousins and verify the family stories he heard as a child. 

Mark is a professional genealogist (DiscoverURhistory), he is a member of Association of Professional Genealogists, GSNJ, NGS and a member of the Bloomfield Twp. Historical Preservation Commission. His areas of interest include Eastern Europe, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
