Histories, mysteries, memories and families: it’s 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 in this encore episode 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’s taken, our most recent common ancestor, and how America can try to heal from its past. Also: capes, detectives and hairy fanny packs.Stephen Hanks books: “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/1619-Twenty-Africans-Discovery-Descendants/product-reviews/1629016578/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews">1619 -- Twenty Africans</a>,” and “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Akee-Tree-Descendants-Ancestors-Plantations/dp/1939995000/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Hanks%2C+Stephen&qid=1581400239&sr=8-2">Akee Tree</a>”Publisher: <a href="https://inkwater.com/">Inkwater Press</a>A donation went to: <a href="https://www.blackpast.org/">BlackPast.org</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/blackhistorymonth">More episodes to celebrate Black History Month </a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies"> Instagram</a> and<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social"> Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward"> Instagram</a> and<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies"> TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of<a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/"> Maitland Audio Productions</a> and<a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/"> Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by<a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo"> Kelly R.
