A Family History Of... The Irish Famine | Trailer

jeudi 26 mars 2026 • Durée 01:20

One family faces famine, fear and exile — and forges a future that spanned oceans.

The Great Famine cast a long shadow across Ireland, hollowing out towns, devastating families, and driving thousands to the brink. It’s a familiar tale, but one not often told. Follow the story of Archibald MacKenzie, a man whose life veered from riot to imprisonment, and then across the sea to smoke and furnaces. Across three episodes, host and genealogist Jen Baldwin — Archibald’s descendant — and Irish genealogy expert Fiona Fitzsimons piece together a life shaped by fear, migration and endurance. Through parish records, newspapers, court entries and census lines, they explore how hunger, displacement and survival reshaped one family — and how those pressures echoed through the generations that followed.

The Women Who Left No Trace| Wartime Women (Part 4 - Bonus Episode)

Épisode 4

mardi 24 mars 2026 • Durée 17:20

Why do women rarely appear in WW2 records?

Many wartime women left no diaries or letters, only the sparse traces of addresses, occupations, and brief entries in civil records.

In this bonus episode, host and expert genealogist Jen Baldwin explores how those small clues — a line in the 1939 Register, a registrar‑office marriage, a maternity home address — can reveal the pressures shaping a woman’s life during war. By placing each detail within the world she lived in, Jen shows how context helps us hear stories that were never written down. What might you discover when you read the women in your family, not just for what’s recorded, but for what the records quietly imply?
