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-The Black Homesteaders Project

 

Bernice Bennette and Shelley Murphey join me and Melissa Barker to talk about the Black Homestead Project. Bernice tells us what the project is about and how to search for your ancestors' homestead records and share them on the website. Shelley shares her family's homestead stories. 

Watch as we learn how these records help understand our family stories and how the project is helping to gather and preserve the stories of Black Homesteaders. 

Do you have ancestors who applied for homesteading? We'd love to hear from you!
