A New Genealogy Podcast Episode

Local Genealogists Speak Podcast Series

In January, we launched a new genealogy podcast series called “Local Genealogists Speak.” This series is a monthly opportunity to hear from a local genealogist as they share their experiences with and knowledge about family history research. Each episode contains tips and suggestions which may be helpful for your own research and/or stories that may inspire you to dig more deeply into your roots. Be sure to subscribe to the Cook Memorial Public Library Podcast for these episodes and other informative content! You can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Music.
