Genealogy Journey's Podcast #34 : The Moon, Stars, and Ancestors

Annual report of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, Ithaca, N.Y https://flic.kr/p/u3kkR5


Today's podcast starts with memories of the moon landing but then looks at the sky and our ancestors. 

Ever given any thought to how your ancestors may have felt about seeing a meteor shower? It's an interesting topic for learning more about your ancestor's life.
