As always one of the things I like to do on this podcast is introduce people who are new to genealogy and family history to tools that can help them in their search. In this episode I introduce listeners to the 1950 census. This is by far not a deep dive, but its a place for new family history researchers to start.

In the final episode of season 1 I go over where I've been, where I'm going and what's coming in season 2! With Season 2 around the corner, I need your help! I need the following: Family history stories. Maybe there is someone in your family you'd love to introduce us to and talk about. Let's hear it! Tell us about those famous, infamous relatives or the ones that had an impact on you by learning about them. DNA stories! If your DNA test revealed a surprise and you'd like to share that. I'd love to have you on the show. If DNA helped you find lost loved ones, or other family I'd love to have you on the show as well. Adoption stories. These are special to me. If you were adopted and you'd like to share your story of what it was like to grow up adopted, or to find out that you were adopted and your search for your biological family. I want to have you on the show! If you gave up a child for adoption, I want to share that as well. I would love to share your story to help others and maybe even help those who are still looking for their biological families to find them. Stories about food and family  history. Stories about the holidays and how you and your family celebrate them. Do you have some traditions passed down from generation to generation? If you would have any of those and would like to be on the show we can do it a couple of ways.

In today's episode Marsha talks to us about how she got into family history and why its important to her now. She like many other young people had the idea that genealogy was something old people do. It's so important that we take the time we have when we are younger to ask our older relatives about their stories, any family stories, legends, or rumors even. Sometimes there is a little truth in a rumor that can lead you to breaking a brick wall. If you'd like to contact the show, feel free to do so on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Or if you like you can email me at [email protected]. I'd love to share your family history, adoption or DNA stories and right now I'm looking for stories about food and family history! How do the two go together? Things your family may have eaten that could have been passed down for generations? Food ties us all together, we use it in so many ways to gather, I want to hear about your experiences. Reach out to me through the ways listed above or leave a voice message at the link below. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/timewilltell/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/timewilltell/support

In this episode we discuss ethnicity estimates! I know a lot of you are interested in this, due to the popularity of the DNA tests. This past week Ancestry DNA put out their updated ethnicity results and I share my old and new results from them as well as MyHeritage and FTDNA (family tree DNA). We talk about the differences, why they are different and what exactly does an ethnicity estimate mean? Also, I put out a call for you to use your voice message feature to leave your short spooky family history story!! The link is below and as I stated in the episode it will be large, you can't miss it! If you have trouble with it don't hesitate to ask me about it on social media. You can find me on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.  I'm also looking for your family history, DNA and adoption stories as always, but don't forget about the holiday stories! I LOVE the holidays and I am excited to talk with you about your memories of holidays gone by or any story you have of how they were celebrated in your family through the years. Also, don't forget we need those food and family history stories!! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/timewilltell/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/timewilltell/support

Every journey has to begin somewhere. In this episode Mitchell shares the beginning of his journey. I hope that other young people will get interested in their family histories as well. Start the journey with your grandparents, as Mitchell has done.  We had already recorded this episode once and there were issues with the recording so we had to record it again. Everything happens for a reason, and Mitchell had more information to share! I hope that Mitchell's journey shows you that even if someone in your family has done your family tree, there is always work that you can do as well. It never hurts to double check facts and more than that, get to know your ancestors for yourself. Learn their stories so you can see how their lives have impacted yours today. There is always something fun and exciting to find even when it seems the "work is done". I hope you enjoy the episode and remember if you'd like to be on the show contact me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook and we can work out the details!  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/timewilltell/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/timewilltell/support
