Anna-Karin's Genealogical Podcast

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, around 1.3 million Swedes emigrated to North America. This means for genealogists, that there still are an enormous amount of connections over the Atlantic ocean, and that many English speaking families are eager to trace their roots, e.g. back to Småland, the region in south-eastern Sweden where the writer Vilhelm Moberg’s fictionous characters in “The Emigrants” first had their home.

One enthusiast is Anna-Karin, a Swedish lady who regularly during the last years has broadcasted Anna-Karins Genealogical Podcast, a podcast on genealogy from an emigrant perspective! Her program contains interviews, tips on genealogy sources and material and genealogy news. The interesting thing is that the program is in English, which makes it possible for her to reach out all over the globe. The Kindo family likes her podcast and recommends it for everyone interested to learn more. - The next episode will come shortly, she promises!

By the way, if you like her podcast, it has now been nominated to the Swedish “Podcast of the year“-award - a competition held by the web-agency Daytona. Vote here! Participating in the competition is also the Web 2.0 podcast What’s Next, which in November hosted Kindo! (only in Swedish)
