Speaker:  Jerry Prager, author

Jerry Prager has written several books related to the growth and history of organized crime and mafia connections in Guelph, Ontario’s Italian community. Jerry’s books include details related to crimes such as bootlegging, theft, murder and assault as well as Italian family connections and their relations to each other. Jerry will discuss how important it was to ensure that the genealogy was accurate when writing these books as it not only helped him to stay alive but also allowed him to help family members who never understood why their families were so broken.
