Thomas Martellone Genealogy Research Podcasts
Welcome to Thomas Martellone Genealogy Research Podcasts! I’ve thought about podcasting for the longest time because I have really loved the work I’ve done related to genealogy and I think I have a knack for ”telling a good story”. I’m also an educator and that coupled with genealogy research has always influenced me in regards to teaching people about genealogy and getting them excited about family history research! My hope is to provide both genealogical content (research and related topics) along with anecdotes that may help inspire, ask questions, or maybe even get you started with family history research. Thanks in advance for following along! I’m glad to have you here.
