This is a great podcast. I learn from each episode and appreciate the structured methodology that is discussed. I enjoyed this so much that I have purchased the book!
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.

I’ve just started the podcast and twice the host has covered the migration of her family into lands formerly held by indigenous tribes and the wording is so completely sanitized. It makes it very difficult to listen to the discussions knowing that the historical context is being scrubbed. Family history is a great tool for growth and reconciling events of the past but not if we talk about it in this incredibly insensitive way.
So love this show and it has earned my 5 star rating. After reading the first page of the first book I knew I this book needed to be purchased well done.
My only beef from listening to the podcast would be the sound. Nicole’s voice sounds great! Diane in my opinion needs an update. Whenever I listen echos of her voice ring in my head. Have you lovely ladies thought about investing in microphones? It would help the volume control and keep the listener concentrating on your content. Just my two... more
