Hello. My name is Mike Mavretic and I work for Chedd-Angier Productions. We are documentary film producers working on a new exhibit for the American Family Immigration History Center, a new wing of the Ellis Island Immigration Museum in New York due to open next year. The exhibit will consist of a series of short documentary films about people researching their families' histories. As we begin our work on these films, we'd like to talk to people who are involved in such research, and who are interested in sharing what they've found. We are most interested in those who have made some good progress in their own family histories as opposed to those who are just starting out. As I am looking specifically for people of Latino/ Hispanic heritage, I am very interested in learning more about the stories of some of the members of your group. If any of you would be willing, I would really like to talk with you in the near future about your experiences. If any of you are working with children on genealogies, then that is a bonus. Also, we would prefer not to use professionals, since one of the points of the documentaries is that anyone can learn about their family histories with a little bit of effort. Thank you Mike Mavretic Chedd Angier Productions 70 Coolidge Hill Road Watertown, MA 02472, USA [email protected] 617-926-8300 ps - it does not matter if your family didn't come through Ellis Island pps - please respond in English
