GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show FYR Season 10 Episode 1: A Folk Song, Private Island & a DNA Discovery

 

The panel Melissa Barker, Jenny Hawran, Shelley Murphy, and I gather to discuss the season opener of Finding Your Roots Episode 10. 

Alanis Morrisett and Cierra are the guests who learn about their family history through records and DNA. Both learn of hardships faced by those who came before them. A DNA discovery tells the story of a different father than records suggest; an ancestor becomes the inspiration of a folksong, and an island mansion from the past is discovered.

Watch as Shelley discusses using Freedmen's Burea Records and Slave Schedules to look for hints of family connections, and we all talk about the importance of looking to newspapers, manuscripts, and other original records to find family.

Did you learn any tips for finding your family by watching this episode of Finding Your Roots?

We'd love to hear from you!
