Samuel (Sammy) Lerner, the founder of Lerning Your Lineage, is a professional genealogist with expertise in Eastern European research, specifically Ukrainian Jewish & Bessarabian Jewish Genealogy.
He specializes in combing through handwritten pre-revolution Cyrillic handwriting to not only put together branches of a family tree, but also to find documents that help tell a story. This could manifest as a signature on a petition or a school essay.
He has volunteered for multiple JewishGen's research divisions to index revision lists (similar to census documents), written in pre-revolution Cyrillic handwriting. He has also gone to Poland with the JewishGen Future Scholars Fellowship Program.
He is a sought-after speaker for his extensive knowledge of Eastern European records.
