Shout Out to NC Summer Series – Worth Watching!
Here’s a big shout out to Renate Yarborough Sanders and Taneya Koonce for doing the “Let’s Talk NC Genealogy: Summer Series“ (watch live or replay) on genealogy research in North Carolina. These are excellent YouTube videos hosted by these two ladies as well as a different guest every episode. Every episode is paced well, not to waste your time, well researched, and very informative.
So far I’ve binge-watched the first three episodes that were live (I watched the replay) about Birth, Marriage, and Death records in North Carolina. I watched live today’s episode on Manuscript Collections… and they’re not done yet.
They’re doing live shows on YouTube all summer long on the first and third Saturday’s at 12:30 PM through August.
The next two coming up are about Research at the North Carolina Archives and Library, August 1st, 2020, and on the August 15th episode features Genetic Genealogist, Shannon Christmas. He will speak on the topic: “The Great North Carolinian Novel: Your DNA and How to Read It.”
It’s not too late to watch the replay of the first four episodes or catch the remaining August episodes live on Saturday afternoons.

Why they are limiting it to the summer is beyond me. They are an awesome team. Perhaps they’ll be inspired to continue on into the fall.
As a fellow YouTuber, I can appreciate the work they put into this series!
Great job ladies… I learned a lot!
