This week Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective, is joined by Gwyneth of Gwyneths.Stories on TikTok. For the past year, Gwyneth has been tackling family history stories by making videos for her followers on the platform. While a relative “newcomer,” to family history, she’s found a passion and love for the storytelling she can do through genealogy.
