Using Public Records Databases to Find the Living and Recently-Deceased
b'Have you ever looked someone up on one of those reverse-phone-number sites to see who the heck is calling you at 2am? Did you know that those sites, and the apps that go with them, are great for genealogy? In this episode I\'ll discuss my favorite, BeenVerified, and how I use it to find generations of family members when I\'m shrubbing, and when I\'m working with someone whose parentage is unclear and who is using DNA for research. Family trees need all the help that they can get; public records aggregators like BeenVerified can provide up to three generations of relatives for researchers looking to fill blanks on Ancestry trees. I\'ll also tell you how to remove yourself from these databases to protect your own privacy. Hypocritical, huh?
