Starting Out

After listening to a most interesting lecture from RootsTech 2015, I decided to put some things together to use when I am doing some family history. 

This is a beginning - - it's my "toolbox":

Episode 161 - Taking Risks, and Norwegian Research

I was so impresssed with Yngve Nedrebø, the Chief archivist at Riksarkivet (National Archives of Norway) who I recently interviewed for the Family Tree Magazine podcast that I'm publishing an extended version of that interview here on the Genealgoy Gems Podcast. This is a "must hear" for those with Norwegian heritage. In this episode you'll also hear from a fellow listener and get a chance to see his family history tour that he created in Google Earth using the techniques I teach in the Google Earth for Genealogy video CD series. And we'll get a taste of the history of coffee.
