It’s a shorter, swear-free version of the wonderful Genealogy episode with author Stephen Hanks -- who teaches genealogy classes in Portland, Oregon and has contributed to PBS genealogy documentaries. We chat histories, mysteries, memories and families, plus what ignited his passion for learning about his own history. Also: how to find your family through census records, county archives, and death certificates; which DNA tests he’s taken; our most recent common ancestor; and whether or not he wears a detective cape. 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/smologies">More Smologies episodes</a>Full length Genealogy (FAMILY HISTORY) episode + links <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/genealogy">here</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="http://ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, pins, totes!Follow @Ologies on<a href="http://twitter.com/ologies"> Twitter</a> or<a href="http://instagram.com/ologies"> Instagram</a>Follow @AlieWard on<a href="http://twitter.com/alieward"> Twitter</a> or<a href="http://instagram.com/alieward"> Instagram</a>Sound editing by<a href="https://twitter.com/stevenRayMorris"> Steven Ray Morris</a>, Mercedes Maitland &<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/my-good-bad-brain/id1373165671?mt=2"> Jarrett Sleeper</a> of Mind Jam Media Extra help from Noel Dilworth, Susan Hale, Kelly Dwyer, Emily White, & Erin TalbertSmologies theme song by Harold Malcolm
