I'm so excited to FINALLY get this podcast going and bring you all some great stories, resources, and guests to help you on your research journey. In this inaugural episode, I share my personal journey into genealogy research and how I went from being disinterested to fully immersed in uncovering my family's history. 

From attending genealogy conferences to DNA testing, I recount the pivotal moments that inspired me to explore my roots and connect with long-lost relatives. I shared my transformation from a disinterested observer to a passionate family researcher. 

Inspired by conferences, DNA testing, and the support of my wife, I delved into my family's past and discovered rich stories and connections. I hope my journey inspires you to begin your own exploration of your family history. Stay tuned for future episodes, where we'll bring in guests to share their incredible genealogical stories.
