TOPIC:                Multiple Lies and an Alias:
                            Solving the Mystery of One Italian Immigrant
PRESENTER:      Kerri Tannenbaum

A search for any information on the biological father of an 83-year-old Italian man yields unexpected twists and turns. Leveraging a wide variety of records sets – some more obscure than others – this case study of an Italian immigrant in New York in the 1920s reveals many conflicts, scandal, and lies.  It’s a case study about how documentary records, DNA, and oral tradition solved the mystery of this elusive man.
