After explaining a little bit more of our hopes for this podcast, we dive into our research methods and ways we found out more about our family. As it turns out, the country our ancestors grew up in made our family record their own family history. We reference back to the Aryan certificate, talk about birth certificates and explain how they applied to our research. We discuss what gets in the way in the research… old lettering. We tease how AI might help us and finish the episode with another round of encouragement for you to dive into your own family research.
