  • New windows into the family living room

    Family history is more than the piles of old letters that I am now sorting through now, some 30+ years after my grandmother passed away, which describe the early years of Hawaiian Pineapple when she and my grandfather were “two of the eighteen whites on the island [Lana’i].” I would love to have heard the stories in person.

    The importance of hearing these stories in person either from those who have lived them or are reliving them by passing them on is one of the most important aspects of this p... more

  • This is my favorite!

    This podcast just checks all the boxes for me! Wonderful everyday people as guests, bubbly and interesting host, great historical stories, and of course genealogy tips along the way. I’ve listened to all the episodes, and consume the next one the morning it drops. Sometimes I just miss Christa so I go back and listen to one of the older ones again. So very fun, and she is the perfect host for this format.

  • Thank you for the Stories

    I appreciate the podcast. As our “family story keeper” I have been gathering out stories for over 60+ years. I have tried to pass them on by writing them down and telling them. I always love hearing other people’s stories. Thank you.

  • Crista Cowan is the best genealogist

    What a great podcast!! I just enjoy learning from Crista. I have attended her zoom meetings through the Ancestry.com platform and have learned so much in the last (60) days, after being a member of Ancestry.com for the last (15) years. So pleased to have discovered her podcast. Just love her cadence, great information shared from such a dedicated genealogist.
