X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Dr. Stewart Blandon Traiman tells stories 
 of many LGBTQ ancestors in the historical context of LGBTQ rights. Clues m
 ay be found in photographs\, the census\, newspapers\, obituaries\, cemete
 ries\, military records\, marriage records\, and LGBTQ Archives around the
  world.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Genealogy has been an obsession for Stewart for 30 
 years\, and he has a wide breadth&nbsp\;of genealogical source knowledge\,
  both online and off-line.&nbsp\;Stewart began building my own family hist
 ory as a teenager by interviewing parents\,&nbsp\;grandparents\, and other
  relations about his Nicaraguan roots. When he married\, he&nbsp\;took on 
 the new adventure of researching his husband&rsquo\;s Ukrainian and Polish
  Jewish&nbsp\;immigrant ancestors. He&rsquo\;s researched both of his chil
 dren&rsquo\;s biological origins back to&nbsp\;the colonial United States 
 and Western Europe.&nbsp\;Stewart has been a CGS volunteer since 2014 publ
 ishing our eNews. This year he will&nbsp\;complete his six year term on th
 e Board\, where he serves as recording secretary.&nbsp\;Since 2018\, he ha
 s been blogging on LGBTQ Genealogy in hopes of raising awareness&nbsp\;tha
 t not everyone in our family trees was heterosexual. In his previous lives
 \, Stewart&nbsp\;was an Internal Medicine physician and a Health Informati
 on Technology analyst and&nbsp\;manager.</p>\n<p><strong>Recording will be
