AUDIO PODCAST SHOW NOTES: In episode 291 of the Genealogy Gems podcast, host Lisa Louise Cooke discusses the launch of the 1921 England and Wales census on Ancestry. Crista Cowan, Ancestry's corporate genealogist, discusses the census that covers 38 million people and it's significance due to its 100-year privacy law. Cowan highlights the importance of understanding the context, including the delay in census day due to a potential worker strike, the impact of World War I on marital status, and new employment details. The conversation also touches on the use of AI for indexing and the importance of family history storytelling. Then The Photo Detective Maureen Taylor shares strategies for identifying your old family photos from the 1920s. Get the full show notes on the Genealogy Gems website.
