    I had such a great experience being interviewed on Journey’s into Genealogy. Emma has such a genuine love for history and uncovering the stories of the past…it really shines through in the way she guides each conversation. I am inspired by her work and would highly recommend listening to her.

  • Anthony Adolph Episode

    Anthony Adolph starts off by saying that online ancestry sources should not be trusted and are not accurate then proceeds to recommend online sources. Regarding ignoring hints on ancestry sites, how patronising to assume that most people do not carefully research birth records, baptism, marriage, death, wills, military records, old books etc. He clearly thinks that those that use ancestry record sites are gullible in the extreme, or, he himself is out of touch.
