The Flash Drive with Carl Wastie

Discovering Your Roots: A Journey Through Family History What do our family stories really say about who we are? Carl & Cassidy got to chat with genealogist Heather McAllister for what started as a fun experiment (finding out more about Cassidy's heritage) - but quickly turned into a deeply personal journey of identity and belonging. From unexpected ties to District Six, to French ancestry and even the 1820 settlers, Cassidy’s family tree reveals a rich and complex history. Along the way, she shared the powerful moment of finally having her heritage documented - something she’s had to defend throughout her life. This isn’t just one person’s story; it’s a reminder of how our roots shape us, and why discovering them can be both emotional and transformative. If you’ve ever wondered about your own family’s past, you can contact Heather via email at info@ancestors.co.zaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
