110 How Genealogists Research (Doing History)

Published: Nov. 29, 2016, 6 a.m.

History tells us who we are and how we came to be who we are.

Like history, genealogy studies people. It\\u2019s a field of study that can tell us who we are in a more exact sense by showing us how our ancestral lines connect from one generation to the next.

In this episode of the \\u201cDoing History: How Historians Work\\u201d seres, we investigate the world of genealogical research with Joshua Taylor, President of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society and a professional genealogist.
