Journey Through the Generations: Recent Episodes
Phillip & Trisha
We talk about our journey as we research our family trees. We also provide thoughts and tips to help you start and navigate through your own family tree.
Recorded live at the RootsTech 2026 conference in Salt Lake City, this episode of Journey Through the Generations features a conversation with genealogist and entrepreneur André Kearns, founder and CEO of Black Ancestries.
Trisha sits down with André in the expo hall at the world’s largest genealogy conference to talk about how he got started in family history research, the evolution of genealogy over the past 20 years, and the powerful role that technology is playing in helping people uncover their stories.
André shares how a simple request from his father to create a family tree for a reunion led him into decades of research, eventually tracing his family lineage back to a named African ancestor. He also discusses the importance of records, DNA matches, and emerging tools like AI-powered document transcription that are helping researchers uncover ancestors who were previously hidden in historical records.
In addition, André talks about the mission behind Black Ancestries and his vision to help people of African descent uncover, celebrate, and preserve their family history across the global diaspora.

For Day 11 of our 12 Days of Genealogy Media Resources, we’re focusing on Google Books and why it’s an essential—but often overlooked—tool for genealogy research.
In this episode, we talk about how Google Books allows researchers to full-text search millions of digitized books, including rare and out-of-print family histories, local and county histories, city directories, and other published records that may not be indexed anywhere else. These materials often contain references to ancestors that don’t appear in traditional genealogy databases.
We discuss how using specific search terms, name variations, and advanced search operators can dramatically improve your results, especially when researching common surnames. We also cover how filters—such as publication date ranges, content type, and “full view” availability—can help you focus on materials published during your ancestor’s lifetime.
If you’ve ever struggled to find context, background, or written references to your family beyond census and vital records, this episode will help you think differently about how books can support your genealogy research.
🎧 Listen in for practical strategies, real examples, and tips you can start using right away.

For Day 10 of our 12 Days of Genealogy Media Resources, we’re talking about books and the critical role they play in genealogy and family history research. In this episode, we discuss what books can reveal that online records sometimes can’t, why preserving them matters, especially as books continue to be challenged and removed from libraries, and how written history helps protect our stories for future generations.
We also share personal experiences of finding our own families in books, highlighting how powerful and meaningful those discoveries can be.
🎧 Listen in for the books we discuss and why we believe every family historian should have them in their research toolbox.

For Episode 7 of our 12 Days of Genealogy Media Resources, we’re talking about genealogy software and how it can help you organize, manage, and expand your family history research.
In this episode, we highlight two popular programs, RootsMagic and Family Tree Maker, and discuss why many researchers choose software to keep control of their family trees while still connecting to major online databases. We touch on key features, compatibility with Ancestry and FamilySearch, pricing considerations, and why these tools can be useful for both beginners and experienced genealogists.
If you’ve ever wondered whether genealogy software is right for you—or which option might fit your research style—this episode will help you start asking the right questions.

For Day 5 of our 12 Days of Genealogy Media Resources, we’re turning our attention to genealogy on television. In this episode, we talk about popular genealogy TV shows such as Finding Your Roots, Who Do You Think You Are?, and Relative Race, along with a few lesser-known programs that bring family history research to life in different ways.
We discuss how these shows blend storytelling, history, and research, what they get right, and how viewers can use them as inspiration for their own family history journeys. Whether you enjoy celebrity-driven discoveries, competitive research formats, or emotional reunions, genealogy TV shows can spark curiosity, encourage deeper research, and help make family history more accessible to a wider audience.
If you’ve ever watched an episode and thought, “I want to try that with my own family,” this conversation is for you.

For Day 3 of our 12 Days of Genealogy Media Resources, we’re diving into one of the most surprisingly powerful tools for family historians: social media. In this episode, we talk about how platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and specialized online communities can help you find resources, connect with relatives, discover research tips, and stay updated on genealogy trends.
We share examples of how social media groups have helped researchers break through brick walls, learn new techniques, and collaborate with others who share their ancestral regions or surnames. Whether you're new to genealogy or have been researching for years, social media can open doors you never expected.
Helpful Social Media Tools for Genealogy Research

We all have a story to tell. And yes, we know the story is not always a good one. However, it's a part of your family and if anything, because you are here, it's because of the strength and determination of your ancestors.
Call their names by telling the story of You. You can do this in several ways, and we talk about some of those in this episode.
Phillip started a new podcast meant to share family stories, share resources, and elevate our ancestors. You can listen wherever you get your favorite podcasts.

Phillip also takes a dig at the government for not changing the 72-year rule for census records. Spoiler alert: He doesn't care for it!

TECH TIP: Before you close a site or document, do a quick Search & Find for the name or other information you're looking for. To do that, when you're on the website or reading a document:
- Hit CTRL-F on your Keyboard
- Typically in the upper right corner, a search box will appear. Type the information you're looking for and hit enter.
- The site will find every instance of that name on the website. (Be sure to try spelling variations when you're searching names)
