The Talk Genealogy Podcast

It's a while since I mentioned episodes of Malcolm Noble's Talk Genealogy Podcast for English family historians. Recent episodes are:

Talk Genealogy Podcast: Episode #46 Tudor Tax Records

What were they? Where can we find the records? What do they contain and, most important, how can they help the genealogist with too much time on their hands. Often you don't need to go to the originals, there are transcripts.

Talk Genealogy Podcast: Episode #45 Rolls of Incumbents

How can these histories of vicars in the family parish help the historian learn more about their ancestors?

Talk Genealogy Podcast: Episode #42 A Golden Age of English Parish Histories

The first half of the twentieth century saw a surge in the publication of parish histories very different from the modern version of the genre. Malcolm Noble looks at these earlier books can be especially useful for today's family historian.

Malcolm informs me that episodes remain “live” for three months before being archived.

Obviously I am one of those genealogists with too much time on their hands as I spent an hour this morning listening to two podcasts and have bookmarked the site to go back and listen to more. What a wonderful resource. Thank you so much for telling me about it.
