Family Tree Talk

Tune in to this week’s Family Tree Talk with podcast co-hosts Nathan Ward and Helen Tovey. Nathan’s genealogy journey continues apace as he’s now racing along the side branches of his family tree tracing the life on the high seas of his 4x great-uncle Elijah. Helen, meanwhile has got a little lost in Lego and nostalgia. But it’s not all bad – as it turns out that trips down memory lane can be just what’s needed to improve the care of older people in our lives who may be dealing with memory loss.

Family Tree Talk podcast co-host Nathan Ward has been digging for weeks now, trying to find his Elizabeth Thing on the 1851 Census. While she’s remaining elusive, his family history is in no way standing still… In fact, being ‘forced’ to stick in one place, and one time period, has provided Nathan with time to look around him - to discover more about some of the other people in her life… her brother, her son… And what he’s finding is fascinating. Join him, with Helen Tovey, to tune in to the chat.

Cohosts Nathan Ward and Helen Tovey catch up on their family history discoveries. Erstwhile tree-tracing newbie Nathan is now at the point of adding 5th (and maybe even 6th) times great-grandparents to his tree. Helen thinks that he should just go for it; he’s not so sure however, and wants to accrue more evidence before proceeding. Have a listen – and we’d love to hear your views.

Nathan’s busy researching his 4x- great-grandparents in the early/mid 1800s. Helen is, slowly, getting on with her digital filing. Progress is being made by both of them, but things aren’t progressing as quickly as perhaps they should… Podcast cohosts Nathan Ward and Helen Tovey chat through their family history and mull over what good research looks like, which thorough steps to take, and also when to think ‘hey is this a rabbit hole?’.

This week on Family Tree Talk podcast cohosts Nathan Ward and Helen Tovey chat through Nathan’s recent research forays as he works to find records for his family in the early 1800s. What might those baptism, marriage and burial records reveal for him. Tune in – we’d love you to join us.
