Bleave is an Excellent Podcast

Megan’s tone, timing and ease of speech is fantastic. Great to listen to. This first episode for me is on Finding Family Photos, the etiquette of use once given access even. What to do with them, how to handle photos as to uploading photos of relatives known and unknown to the internet where not actually known DNA relatives may be involved either in providing them or being included in them. Basically she allowed me to consider elements of family photo acquisition I’d never yet considered. She mentions eBay finds, Craigslist, area libraries and school yearbooks and more as photo source ideas. She gave several logical name search hints all too easy to remember. Wow! Thank you Megan! Hope you keep this podcasting thing up. In my view - you’ve tips, thoughts and experiences we genealogists are very hungry for.
