Love it
I love the “crossed” reference.
Wonderful podcast but…
The post is very informative. However, please stop using the term “crossed” when you mean “died.” Hearing “crossed” is so jarring to the ear. Died means died. “Crossing” means what? Crossing to what?
Fast and Informative
This is one of my favorite genealogy podcasts. The content is great and very well done. But the best thing is that it is brief! I can listen to an episode in all those small snippets of downtime. Waiting in a Dentist office, picking someone up, or just taking a quick break from work. It fits in everywhere. One topic packed into 5 to 7 minutes. Love it!
