A 30-year quest to find my great-great-grandmother Carrie began with a teenage promise and a stack of yellow legal pads. Follow my journey from hand-cranking microfilm readers to the digital revolution that changed everything in genealogy. But in this deeply personal story, I discover that the most precious family treasures aren't found in courthouse records or online databases—they're in the stories that bring our ancestors to life. In this debut episode, I share how one mysterious ancestor shaped my path to becoming The Barefoot Genealogist.
