Take your ancestors from names on paper to multidimensional people who lived, breathed, loved, lost, and helped you to be who you are. Benefit from 40+ years of experience in folklore, history, genealogy, law, and tools of FamilySearch, Ancestry, Newspapers.com and more. I learn from my many mistakes, I teach from those lessons. I interview genealogists and authors. I discuss Reparational Genealogy - how Anglo- or European-American researchers can assist African-American researchers in restoring connections destroyed by centuries of chattel slavery. I even give recipes from ancestral meals in the Family Cookbook episodes. And if YOU want to be interviewed, let me know!

Confirmation Bias, Ethel McKinney, Harley Bowers, and Solon Selleck
First off, welcome back - to us all! Glad to be recording again. This season will be all about confirmation bias and the many ways it can get in the way of writing accurate life stories. My focus has been on FamilySearch in the past few years, so we'll be talking about writing those Brief Life Histories there.This episode is about a specific search for answers about my great-granduncle, Harley Walker Bowers, his first wife Ethel Adaline McKinney, and her second husband, Solon Beecher Selleck. I expected to find out that Harley was a hound (he DID have three wives), that Ethel was a victim, and that Solon was her answer to prayer.Not so much.Listen as I detail discoveries that challenged all of my expectations, and rewrote this triangle of intertwined lives.

The Family Cookbook: Deep Fried Biscuits and Homemade Apple Butter
Today's episode is a Family Cookbook episode that I've wanted to make for quite a while. It features two of my favorite foods from the area where I went to college (and where MANY of my ancestors lived for over a century) - Deep Fried Biscuits and Homemade Apple Butter, from Indiana. See the shownotes for the recipes.The part of the apple butter recipe that fascinates me is that my mother's mother would have gone through all of the boiling and sealing of jars as a child and teenager, basically the whole canning process, and by the time she died she was using a microwave. We're never that far from history and continual evolution, even in the kitchen.Also, I invite you to celebrate my birthday with me, help me promote my YouTube channel in three easy steps, and with that, enter to win a deck of playing cards (design of your choice) from my Zazzle shop.Let's get cooking!You can join my Facebook group - just be sure to answer the screening questions and agree to the house rules.Please follow my YouTube channel here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4tQI4aeIZfnqK4LRKTmplA) - I will be doing more videos face to face, and perhaps even some live, with chat and everything!Please rate and review the podcast on your podcast provider, at https://apple.co/2MLZW4H (https://apple.co/2MLZW4H), or at facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy (http://facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy).If you want to be on the podcast from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD using the Zoom platform and a good mic and earphones (how about that Family Cookbook series??), you can contact me at https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm (https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm).Stop by the website at ancestorsalivegenealogy.com (http://ancestorsalivegenealogy.com/), IG @fppppodcast (https://www.instagram.com/fppppodcast/), Clubhouse @ancestorsalive and Twitter at both @fpppppodcast (http://twitter.com/fppppodcast) and @ancestorsalive (http://twitter.com/ancestorsalive)Sponsor the podcast at patreon.com/AncestorsAlive (http://patreon.com/AncestorsAlive) for super-fantastic rewards, including SWAG for different levels of sponsorship AND monthly polls that yield even more SWAG.

BioADay2022 - Wiley Franklin Odom
Here's another biography I developed on my quest to achieve one biography per day on my platform of choice, FamilySearch. With each ancestor, I always start with the auto-generated Life Story on Ancestry, copy it and paste it in the LifeStory field on FamilySearch. Then, I augment it with facts from census, vital, and other records, along with a little logical deduction thrown in for good measure. As I did before, I will read you the original from Ancestry and the final product on FamilySearch, complete with a list of sources. I hope that this inspires you to write a few biographies every month. It's the best way to come to understand the lives of our ancestors.Also, I'm no longer on Spotify. I explain that in the episode.Last, but absolutely not least, HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!You can join my Facebook group - just be sure to answer the screening questions and agree to the house rules.Please follow my YouTube channel here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4tQI4aeIZfnqK4LRKTmplA) - I will be doing more videos face to face, and perhaps even some live, with chat and everything!Please rate and review the podcast on your podcast provider, at https://apple.co/2MLZW4H (https://apple.co/2MLZW4H), or at facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy (http://facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy).If you want to be on the podcast from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD using the Zoom platform and a good mic and earphones (how about that Family Cookbook series??), you can contact me at https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm (https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm).Stop by the website at ancestorsalivegenealogy.com (http://ancestorsalivegenealogy.com/), IG @fppppodcast (https://www.instagram.com/fppppodcast/), Clubhouse @ancestorsalive and Twitter at both @fpppppodcast (http://twitter.com/fppppodcast) and @ancestorsalive (http://twitter.com/ancestorsalive)Sponsor the podcast at patreon.com/AncestorsAlive (http://patreon.com/AncestorsAlive) for super-fantastic rewards, including SWAG for different levels of sponsorship AND monthly polls that yield even more SWAG.
