Genealogy (FAMILY TREES) with Stephen Hanks
b'Histories, mysteries, memories and families: it\\u2019s time to clamber up our ancestral trees. Author and genealogist Stephen Hanks -- who teaches genealogy classes in Portland, Oregon and has contributed to PBS genealogy documentaries -- sits down to chat about what ignited a passion for learning about his own history. Also: how to find your family through census records, county archives, death certificates and more, plus which DNA tests he\\u2019s taken, our most recent common ancestor, and how America can try to heal from its past. Also: capes, detectives and hairy fanny packs.\\xa0\\n\\nStephen Hanks books: \\u201c1619 -- Twenty Africans,\\u201d and \\u201cAkee Tree\\u201d\\n\\nPublisher: Inkwater Press\\n\\nA donation went to: BlackPast.org\\n\\nSponsor links: StitchFix.com/ologies; Kiwico.com/ologies; LinkedIn.com/ologies\\n\\nMore links at alieward.com/ologies/genealogy\\n\\nTranscripts & bleeped episodes at: alieward.com/ologies-extras\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, pins, totes and STIIIICKERS!\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/ologies or instagram.com/ologies\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/AlieWard or instagram.com/AlieWard\\n\\nSound editing by Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam Media & Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
