Speaking in Relative Terms – A Family Podcast is a new podcast offered by Connie and David Spicer in order to enrich our children and all cousins out there on the history and genealogy of our respective families. We’ll explore DNA questions and situations, and see find out about our family but we will focus on the stories of our ancestors and our own descendants. Yes, you’ll hear from cousins near and far – and grandkids and folks of all ages, starting with today’s episode!
Today, I tell 3 stories about different members of my family – past and present. The first story is about my 3X great grandmother Arabella Swan. The second features an “anonymous” cousin and our DNA match research to verify her parentage. The third story starts the long story of 2 and 3X great grandfather Dexters and how they came to America.
Then, our granddaughter, Jolene Law, all of 4 years old, visits me. Jojo is starting to figure out if she ever wants to do this again. I think you’ll enjoy the conversation – and I hope Jojo gets to hear it again in a half century! Can you imagine?
Join us next time for another episode of Speaking in Relative Terms. Be sure to find and follow us on Facebook and Twitter @RelativeTerms.
When I interviewed Jolene, I asked her about games she played – and you might be a bit shocked at what she reveals. But don’t be – I’ve only just found out that there is a “real game” called – “Don’t Step in It“. Yes, she wasn’t talking about walking around her yard avoiding her own dog’s messes! Color me embarrassed!
