GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: Relative Race Season 12 Day 6: Cousin Connections!

 



The panel, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock,  and I unpack Day 6 of Relative Race!

Cousin connections were formed by all four teams, with joy for some while bringing bad news and grief for another. Callie explains a part of adoption society doesn't always discuss and feels we should. 

Watch as we talk about the race, the challenge, and who gets a strike at the end of the day.





How long can you hold your breath?

Happy belated birthday, Callie!
