My maternal grandmother had piles of handwritten family tree notes and pictures that I go... more

Honestly, not sure where to start! I’ve benefitted so much from Diana and Nicole’s genealogy research content and have learned so far beyond my wildest research dreams. The podcast brought me into the fold with intriguing and super helpful research tips and testimonials. The website, blog, books and courses are professional and rigorous and oh so worth it. I highly recommend everything about Family Locket and their genealogical education. Thanks Diana and Nicole!

Diana and Nicole,
I wanted to share how much I enjoyed today's RLP podcast, EP311. I found it to be both an in depth and accessible discussion of AI disclosure, a topic that has many in the family history community stuck wondering what to do, or where to turn for advice.
Thanks for everything that you two do for the community.
Mark.
