Welcome back to another episode of Chasing Hazel’s Tales, the family history podcast. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the deep American roots of our grandmother, Thelma Persis Haskell, tracing her lineage through generations of hearty New England stock.

Kim and Laura explore the York and Clark lines, shedding light on their English ancestry and the journey from New Hampshire to the Plymouth, Massachusetts area. Discover the historical significance of these names and the potential connections to the Mayflower.

Kim shares her insights on building family trees on Ancestry.com, offering tips on how to navigate the vast network of information and the importance of verifying data before adding it to your own tree. Learn the significance of different types of evidence, from birth and marriage certificates to census records and obituaries.

Intrigued by the prospect of tracing your own family history or debunking long-standing theories? Kim ponders taking a sabbatical to explore her connections to the House of York in England and the fascinating world of royal descent.

And don't forget to stay updated on Ancestry.com's latest DNA ethnicity updates, adding new regions and improving accuracy. Will it reveal surprising insights into your own heritage?

So, whether you're a seasoned genealogist or just starting to shake your family tree, join us on this journey through family history.
