GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: Back to the Frontier with Bernice Alexander Bennett

Cheri and the panel Melissa Barker, Jenny Hawran, and Mary Kircher Roddy welcome Bernice Alexander Bennett, professional genealogist and regular panelist on the show to tell us about her latest project as a genealogist on the new HBO Max series "Back to the Frontier". Bernice gets the opportunity to research and share her discoveries about the ancestors of one of the contestant families.

Watch as we hear what to expect and what to look for on this new series!

How would you handle going back in time to the homesteading days with no modern conveniences and no technology?

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: Can An Old Genealogist Lean New Tricks?

The panel, Melissa Barker, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, Mary Kircher Roddy, and I get together to discuss a topic we've been hearing from fellow genealogists.

With all the new tools and technology available, and more on the horizon, are those of us who have been researching for decades being left behind if we don't stay current with these new developments?

Or is there still a place for tried-and-true genealogy methods?

Watch as we share our thoughts and then comment, and let us know yours!
