  • Great show

    I’ve been listening to this show since very early on. It is one of my absolute favorites. Straight forward and well researched. The host is also receptive to corrections and admitting when they accidentally got a fact wrong. He is clearly passionate about the work. Will continue to listen as long as there are episode uploaded.

  • Stephenson murders

    This case seems perfect for the use of forensic genealogy to solve as there is dna available to use.
