What an absolutely incredible podcast that you’ve created, I’m working my way through every episode to help me go even deeper along every branch of my own family tree. Thank you so much.
These just get better and better with each new episode. I love hearing the stories and it inspires me to research my own family more and to share those stories with my children.
Family history is so fun to bring to life! Like a big, unknown puzzle, each researcher must pull forth every piece/detail available and try to make them all fit in ways that bring our ancestors back to life! I’m loving this new podcast and can’t wait for the next one to drop!
This is So amazing I really enjoyed listening to you and I learnt something also. Thank you so Much ❤️🥳
I have loved listening to these ancestry stories. I loved the story of Julie being drawn to her roots. I also loved the DNA story and how she was so welcomed by her blood relatives. A great podcast with fascinating stories!
