United Statesa month ago - Fascinating insight into the past.
I’ve only just discovered this podcast and have listened to the first two episodes about Lucy Worsley’s grandmother. I’m hooked. But, please, to the lady who hosts it from Find My Past (which is an excellent resource for Family History by the way) you should know that it’s GeneAlogist and not GeneOlogist. Regardless, I’ll still be catching up with the past episodes.

Apple Podcasts5GLOJSONUnited States3 months ago - Great new genealogical podcast
I was hoping for a good genealogical podcast that would show the research and discovery and share that journey, and this is it! Great first series! I hope to hear many more genealogical life stories and perhaps contribute some. My grandma’s story is somewhat similar to Edna so that was fascinating to listen to. Thanks!
