Who are you remembering this week?
You know the dance. You know you've done it. The one every researcher does after finding something new. The one where you want to jump up and down and shout to everyone around that you found the document, contacted a cousin who has the family Bible, made a DNA connection, or found a whole new branch to your tree. The one that is met with glazed stares and eye rolls.
The panel, Dan Earl, Laura Hedgecock, Shelley Murphy, and Mary Kircher Roddy, and I discuss lessons learned from two recent episodes of Finding Your Roots on this week's GenFriends. Soundex methods, naming patterns, social history, and context along with newspapers and other records are some of the topics we discuss.
Watch as they share their thoughts on the records and methodologies used to discover family for the celebrities and how we can use them in our own research.
What have you learned from watching Finding Your Roots?
We'd love to hear from you!

On this episode of GenFriends the panel Melissa Barker, Bernice Bennett, Laura Hedgecock, Shelley Murphy, Mary Kircher Roddy and I welcome Genealogical Crime Mystery author Nathan Dylan Goodwin to talk about his new book "The Chester Creek Murders".
Watch as Nathan shares how the idea for an Investigative Genetic Genealogy series came to be, his writing process, and his thoughts on future books in this Venator series. Plus we get some hints about Morton's next adventure in book 9 of the Forensic Genealogist Series!
Have you read any of Nathan's books? (and if you haven't, you REALLY should!)
Which is your favorite?
We'd love to hear from you!
