I'm so excited to FINALLY get this podcast going and bring you all some great stories, resources, and guests to help you on your research journey. In this inaugural episode, I share my personal journey into genealogy research and how I went from being disinterested to fully immersed in uncovering my family's history. From attending genealogy conferences to DNA testing, I recount the pivotal moments that inspired me to explore my roots and connect with long-lost relatives. I shared my transformation from a disinterested observer to a passionate family researcher. Inspired by conferences, DNA testing, and the support of my wife, I delved into my family's past and discovered rich stories and connections. I hope my journey inspires you to begin your own exploration of your family history. Stay tuned for future episodes, where we'll bring in guests to share their incredible genealogical stories. Don't forget to subscribe to "Black Genealogy Corner" on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on YouTube and Instagram for more content.Listen to the other podcast I co-host with my wife - Journey Through the Generations.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/journey-through-the-generations/id1247333259***************************SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackgenealogycorner/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIFDo9TqpIUX7LsBt-2-mJgTwitter: https://twitter.com/blackgencornerMusic: "SoulJam" provided by Third House Productions https://thirdhouseprod.bandcamp.com/
