Fantastic Addition to My Genealogy Podcasts
Denys Allen's podcast, "Your Pennsylvania Ancestors," makes me want to get out of my pjs and start paging through a manuscript collection! In each episode, Denys interviews an archivist, librarian, volunteer, or just about anyone who knows the most about a specific PA repository. Not only do I learn all about the genealogical and historical materials this state has to offer, but I can learn about archives, libraries, genealogical societies, and general genealogy topics at the same time. This podcast is a fantastic addition to my current list of genealogy podcasts.
