Feeling a bit of family history overwhelm?

Tune in for tips to keep calm, step back, and enjoy your genealogy. (Usually) family history really doesn’t need to be a race, but is instead something that is best savoured slowly! Nathan Ward, Designer of Family Tree, and Helen Tovey, Editor, chat about their research endeavours and ponder this and that about genealogy.

“Keep up the good work and keep making me smile over the ironing board!” – says a Family Tree Talk fan.

“That’s our pleasure” – say Nathan and Helen. “We’re always happy to chat family history.”

If you have a topic you’d like to hear aired on the Family Tree Talk podcast, or a question you’d like to ask, just email us at editorial@family-tree.co.uk
