  • Technology is a huge part of doing family research. It allows us to find documents, records, photos, books, etc. that we may or may not have been able to find. And we can find it in a more quick, efficient manner.

    if you are having a technology issue that you want us to do a YouTube video or podcast on, let me know and we'll look at doing that in 2024.

    Below is a list of tech items that we use or think are important for genealogy research. If you use any of the links below to purchase an item, we earn a small commission. This supports the work we do on the blog, the podcast, and on YouTube.

  • We all have a story to tell. And yes, we know the story is not always a good one. However, it's a part of your family and if anything, because you are here, it's because of the strength and determination of your ancestors.

    Call their names by telling the story of You. You can do this in several ways, and we talk about some of those in this episode.

    Phillip started a new podcast meant to share family stories, share resources, and elevate our ancestors. You can listen wherever you get your favorite podcasts.

  • Census records are a very popular record for family research. Oftentimes, it's one of the first records a researcher will look at. It gives you a wealth of information.

    Phillip and Trisha talk about census records, how they can be used, good information to look for, and where to find them.

    Phillip also takes a dig at the government for not changing the 72-year rule for census records. Spoiler alert: He doesn't care for it!
