Hey, gang, how many facts about your own family history are actually facts?

The stories passed down at holidays, the legends your parents or grandparents swore were true.

Have you ever stopped to wonder what might be missing or maybe slightly exaggerated?

That's exactly what the new podcast family lore digs into.

It takes those familiar, often unquestioned family stories and puts

them under a microscope, blending history, culture, and a little investigative curiosity

to uncover what's been reshaped over time. We all inherit narratives and just like with money,

understanding their origins can change everything about how we move forward.

Take a listen to this preview of family lore.

Episodes are available now wherever you get your podcasts.

What made you so interested in all this ancestral lines and ancestral influences?

I'm more interested in the stories.

The stories of your ancestors.
