Topics Discussed
Genealogist Julie Medlock Flake shares the story of her Irish ancestors in the late 1700’s and and what the trials of their lives taught her. Most of what Julie learned was found in letters the family wrote to one another. Denys then tells you how you could find your ancestors in letters and journals in archives.
Denys also checks in on the 14 Days of Journaling project. Join other family historians in taking time each day for 14 days to capture this moment in history for future generations.
