A Universal Quest for Answers About Family and Ourselves

DNA Clarity and Support is a new podcast that covers the growing phenomenon of DNA discoveries and how unexpected findings have the power to change lives, redefine personal identity, and restructure families. Episode 2 is now available for listening anywhere podcasts are found!

In episode 2 of DNA Clarity and Support, author Mary Beth Sammons shares with host Brianne Kirkpatrick the backstory to Ancestry Quest. This quick-and-easy read explores the stories of dozens of individuals who found meaning and connection to family and their history, sometimes after an intentional search and sometimes by happenstance. If you’re a “chicken soup for the soul” type of reader, Sammons’ approach to writing about families will appeal. Sammons reminds us that when you search for the silver linings, you are sure to find them.

Ancestry Quest published by Simon and Schuster is available in paperback and for e-reader

Listen as Mary Beth and Brianne discover the similarity in the way a grandparent's life led them to research family history and what they have learned from listening to others and helping others to share their stories of family and discovery.
