Ancestry hints, second trees & surprising cousin clues

In this episode of Family Tree Talk, Helen Tovey and Nathan Ward get stuck into some real family history discoveries and practical tips. Helen shares how Ancestry Hints helped her trace her grandpa’s cousin’s dad—and why she’s a total convert to Hints! Meanwhile, Nathan digs into an intriguing email from listener Marilyn, who suspects a shared connection with him. Could they be related? Plus, your hosts explain how to set up a second family tree on Ancestry, how to make your tree public or private, and how to change the home person in your tree settings. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned family historian, there's something here to help you get more from your research.
