This week is something special: my first-ever interview! My friend Christopher Harris joins the podcast to discuss his 12-year learning curve about family history through folklore, DNA, and African-American documentary methodology. He’ll discuss with us how he records conversations and organizes his work, treeing vs shrubbing, the key role that DNA and GEDmatch play, and how genealogy led him to make jollof rice on Facebook live. He’ll also talk about the importance of Freedmen’s Bureau records in FamilySearch and tell us some long-buried stories that he’s learned about his ancestors that would have been lost but for his work. I think you’ll enjoy this change of pace. I know I did.

If it’s public, I’d like to take a look at Christopher’s tree, to see if we might have a Choctaw or Arkansas connection. Halfway through the podcast, and enjoying the interview format.
Jill, that is great! I will check with him and get back to you ASAP. And thank you so much for listening. I hope you do find a connection.
Jill, Christopher’s username on Ancestry is Driven07111. He’s happy to help if he can.
