  • Perfect timing

    I’m a long time genealogist and always learn new things. Your podcasts with Helen and Nathan as a newbie are brilliant. I started out before Ancestry and the internet were a thing. DNA? That was something done to prove paternity not build trees. I love the Up Down Out. This wasn’t easy to do back in the day, up was mostly it. Now I’m building out and back down. Thanks for a great podcast.

  • Fascinating and Fun

    I am loving Nathan’s journey through this process of discovering his roots. The suggestions Helen gives him have inspired me and I’m putting them into practice now as I jump back into my research. Well done. I’m only on episode 5 but this will be my go to podcast!
