In an unparalleled work of genealogy, she fully documented her unbroken maternal lineage of 22 generations going back as far as 1405, prior to the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal. 
Genie is the author of several award-winning books, My 15 Grandmothers, How I Found My 15 Grandmothers, A Step By Step Guide, and her latest book, Pyre to Fire. She

Inquisition.

ABOUT the Judah Touro Series and Touro Synagogue Foundation
The Touro Synagogue Foundation hosts the Judah Touro Series of lectures and events to connect the synagogue's history to significant themes in the American story, both past and present. The Foundation aims to create a relevant voice for that history by bringing it to a broader and more diverse audience. 


Originally known as “The Society of Friends of Touro Synagogue,” the 
Touro Synagogue Foundation was established in 1948 following the 
designation of Touro Synagogue, America’s oldest synagogue, as a 
National Historic Site. The Touro Synagogue Foundation is a 501(c) 3 
not-for-profit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to promoting and 
teaching religious diversity, colonial Jewish history, and the history 
of Touro Synagogue. The Foundation provides public access to the 
historic site, award-winning history tours, lectures, and educational 
programs for adults and youth. The Touro Synagogue Foundation operates 
public programs in partnership with the <a href="https://www.gwirf.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">George Washington Institute for Religious Freedom</a>, the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/tosy/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">National Park Service</a>, and the <a href="https://savingplaces.org/places/touro-synagogue" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">National Trust for Historic Preservation</a>.

St. Mary's Cemetery, 77-105 Kingston Ave, Newport, RI, 02840`

A new tour of the historic Saint Mary's Cemetery will be offered Saturday, May 11 at 1:00 p.m. by the <a href="https://newportirishhistory.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Museum of Newport Irish History</a> as part of <a href="https://preservation.ri.gov/ricw-events" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">R.I. Historical Cemeteries Awareness and Preservation Weeks.</a>
Local researcher and guide, Steve Marino, will give the outdoor tour of approximately 45 minutes. Explore
 the final resting place of well over 1,000 Newporters of the mid-1800s 
through the early 1900s, including countless immigrants from Ireland and
 first-generation Irish Americans. This cemetery was established to 
serve R.I.'s first Catholic parish (est. 1828), which, in 1848-1852 
constructed a new church to serve its growing congregation, 
fueled by immigration from Ireland. That church, dedicated in 1852 to "The Holy Name of Mary, Our Lady of the Isle,"
 stands today at the corner of Spring Street and Memorial Boulevard 
West. The St. Mary's Cemetery was in operation soon after the church was
 completed. Meet at the gate on Kingston Ave. near the intersection with Warner Street, shown in a photo on our webpage. No fee, but reservations are required. 
The tour will take place weather permitting. Light rain won’t stop the tour, but heavy downfalls and high winds will result in cancellation.
For details and the link to reserve, visit this webpage: <a href="https://newportirishhistory.org/historic-cemetery-tours/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://newportirishhistory.org/historic-cemetery-tours/</a>

ABOUT THE MUSEUM The Museum of Newport Irish History,
 a volunteer-driven, non-profit 501c3 organization, was founded in 1996 
and now boasts over 900 members. In addition to operating an <a href="https://newportirishhistory.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Interpretive Center</a>
 on Lower Thames Street, the organization sponsors numerous educational,
 cultural, social, and fundraising events throughout the year, including
 its popular annual lecture series, now in its 22nd season. The 
organization also restored and maintains the historic <a href="https://newportirishhistory.org/historic-cemetery-tours/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Barney Street Cemetery</a>
 at the corner of Barney and Mt. Vernon Streets, steps from Washington 
Square. It is the final resting place of many of Newport’s earliest 
Irish residents and was the cemetery established to support Rhode 
Island’s first Roman Catholic parish, the forerunner of the current 
Saint Mary’s Church at the corner of Spring Street and Memorial 
Boulevard.

Presented by Rev. Dianne Daniels
When I initially entertained the concept of becoming a minister, I knew that my own use of words would be important - it could mean the difference between a person finding a soothing balm for their spirit, being “called out” on a challenging subject, or turning away from a spiritual walk that could help to free them from their pain and suffering.
Words do indeed Matter - to a person’s self-esteem and self-confidence, to a person’s livelihood, to the status of an important relationship. Whether they are words we say to ourselves (often the toughest) or words we say to others (often “throwaway words” hurt others the most), Words Matter.
Rev. Daniels has found refuge and inspiration in Unitarian Universalism for more than 20 years and is a 2022 graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry. Rev. Daniels provides guest preaching services to UU churches in the region.
