Lisa Louise Cooke is an amazing educator of all things genealogy. She has a calm, soothing voice so I can listen to her genealogy podcasts for hours while I am on one of my infamous road trips. **I learned a LOT about using Google for my online genealogy research from her book ‘Genealogists Google Toolbox’. Be sure to catch her podcast, you will not be disappointed.
‘Research Like A Pro’ is the podcast that got me hooked on using DNA results in my research. This is a mother daughter team actively doing their own family research aside from their business and they share their discoveries and challenges on the show. They bring education, tools, processes and a lot about writing research reports to every one of their genealogy podcasts. Their 2 books, ‘Research Like A Pro’ and ‘Research Like A Pro with DNA’ are must haves!
‘Genealogy Happy Hour’ is one of those genealogy podcasts that are entertaining and informative. They always begin the podcast by describing a bottle of wine they enjoy. Then they dive into what they are working on, research trip and records, land, DNA, etc… It’s easy to follow, these 2 ladies are down to earth and totally relatable.
Extreme Genes is a regular for me. These guys cover a lot of ground in every podcasts. They keep me updated on new records coming on the scene, projects in the genealogy community. I met his co-host at the FamilySearch library in Salt Lake City and I was hooked. My favorite part of the show is when they answer listeners questions.
