Attending a series of institute-level courses on technique, standards, and writing led to his current passion. Miller is rewriting his pedigree, questioning old conclusions and existing family lore, merging documentary evidence and DNA for proof of parentage at each generation for every ancestral couple.

Moishe’s passion for genealogy is part obsession and part a desire to preserve his family history. He has published family history in many forms, including a family website started in 1996, a 370-page hard-covered family history book, 1700 Pages of Testimony submitted to Yad Vashem (using software he designed to generate accurate PDFs from his family tree software), a 10′ x 4′ family chart with pictures printed on parchment-like media spanning ten generations, a 100-page picture-only book telling the story of his grandmother’s life with 300 photos, a 14-page children’s board book as a genealogical bedtime story for his youngest daughter, and many other books. His current pedigree project, written exclusively in MS Word, is over 600 pages. Using the Sosa-Stradonitz numbering system and NGSQ style, it will document all ancestors to the seventh generation.
