This award-winning podcast teaches how to take ancestors from names on paper to multidimensional people who lived, breathed, loved, lost, and helped us to be who we are. It also has a #CensusOfHumor. Benefit from my years of experience in folklore, history, genealogy, law, and tools of FamilySearch (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), Ancestry, Newspapers.com and more. I learn from my many mistakes; I teach lessons from those. I interview others. We'll discuss cooperative and Reparational Genealogy, and how Anglo- or European-American researchers can work with African-American researchers to restore connections destroyed by centuries of enslavement. I'll even give recipes from ancestral meals in the Family Cookbook episodes.
