Listen to the first LIVE broadcast Genealogy Gems Podcast

It was such a treat for us to take The Genealogy Gems Podcast on the road this last weekend to the Family History Expo in Mesa, Arizona.  Recording from my studio is enjoyable and comfy, but can't compare with doing the show in front of a live audience!  What a blast!  And it's available for listening now!


Of course I had some terrific guests lined up for Episode 79 who lit up the stage.  (Above Gena Philibert Ortega of Gena's Genealogy Blog.)  Gena inspired the audience to venture into the world of Genealogy Blogs by explaining what they are, how to find them, and how to subscribe.  She even treated them to a photos posted moments before she took the stage which certainly conveyed the immediacy of blogging.

Then Thomas MacEntee of Geneabloggers delivered loads of fun and blogger beads...

And Anastasia Tyler of Ancestry.com (fresh from her stint on The Martha Steward Show) talked about the brand new genealogy themed TV show coming to NBC on March 5 as well as what's new at Ancestry...

But my most important guests that night were the folks in the audience...

Stage Manager Lacey Cooke roamed the tables with the microphone and attendees had lots to say!
