BCG and Legacy Family Tree Webinars have partnered to produce free live webinars. Findmypast has released a variety of new records, in particular a very large collection of materials relating to crime. Listener email lets us know about: A Florida man was discovered to have been leading a double life, because someone discovered a marriage record for a man who should have been deceased. Chris indicates why she enjoys the podcasts, and gives feedback on the new podcast series. Gigi has a dilemma about whether to update a birth location on FamilySearch on the basis of the sources she has discovered.
