Podcasts about research specialist

In this sponsored episode of the Anglotopia Podcast — brought to you by Findmypast, one of the world's leading family history websites — Jonathan Thomas sits down with Jen Baldwin, Research Specialist at Findmypast and a professional genealogist since 2010, for a warm, practical, and genuinely inspiring introduction to British and Irish family history research. Jen specializes in British social history and the British diaspora — exactly the intersection where family stories meet the great sweep of British history — and her own family tree reaches back to London in 1635. In this first of two episodes, Jen and Jonathan cover everything a complete beginner needs to get started: why family history is so addictive, how to interview living relatives before the memories are lost, what records to look for at home, the cornerstone British records (civil registration from 1837, the census from 1841, parish records, military records, and the extraordinary British Newspaper Archive), the common mistakes that trip up beginners, how to track ancestors who came to America via Canada or Australia, the surprising political dramas hidden inside census returns, and three quick wins that any listener can complete this week. A second episode, covering deeper research and connecting your family story to the wider sweep of British history, is coming soon.

Podcast — Jen Baldwin Also Mentioned Birmingham Back to Backs — National Trust The Fatal Shore by Robert Hughes — Convict Transportation to Australia Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways Family history research is genuinely addictive — not because of the pedigree chart but because of the moment when a name becomes a person: someone with a job, a neighborhood, neighbors, a dog, and a life that intersects with historical events you already care about. There is no such thing as a boring ancestor. Agricultural laborers, mill workers, sailors, and servants all lived lives of remarkable complexity — moving seasonally, navigating economic upheaval, living through wars and weather — and the records to explore those lives exist and are increasingly accessible online. The golden rule of genealogy is to start with yourself and work backward one generation at a time. "Slow is fast" — taking time to verify each connection saves hours of untangling mistakes later. Talk to your oldest or most vulnerable living relatives now, before the memories are lost. Don't ask them to recite facts — ask them to tell stories. Put a photograph in front of them. Ask about their first car, their father's job, the family rumors. That's where the genealogical gold is hidden. Check your own home before you open a single database. Shoeboxes of photographs, greeting cards, family bibles, baptism certificates, postcards, and funeral cards all contain clues. Even a photo of someone standing on a porch with a dog can crack a family mystery open. Civil registration in England and Wales (from 1837) is one of the most powerful genealogical tools in the world — a universal national system that records every birth, marriage, and death, and is far more consistent than the fragmented state-by-state US system. Each certificate chains to the next, revealing a new generation with every document. The 1911 and 1921 censuses of England and Wales are particularly rich — the first preserved in original household handwriting, the second containing post-WWI data on orphans, divorce, and political protests from veterans demanding the "homes fit for heroes" that were promised and never delivered. The 1931 census was pulped for the war and the 1941 census was never taken, making 1921 the last available for a generation. The British Newspaper Archive (accessible via Findmypast) is a partnership with the British Library covering millions of newspaper images from the early 1700s to modern day — not just the major national titles but tiny regional papers, sports papers, political papers, and even a newspaper devoted entirely to cats. It is where ancestors come alive as personalities, not just data points. The Findmypast crime and criminal records collection is the largest of its kind available online, and tracking a transported convict from a British court through the Australian records is very achievable — especially given the extraordinary work done by genealogy communities in Australia and New Zealand to preserve those stories. Three quick wins for after this episode: call the oldest family member you can and record their stories; search for one relative in a census on Findmypast; and start a basic family tree with your parents and grandparents. All three are achievable this week. Soundbites "When we do family history, we think we're researching individual people. But what we're really researching is history. We're researching the people who lived that history in the moment. That's what makes it addictive — that high of discovering the name of the person you've been looking for for five years, and then going, okay, where did he get his shoes?" — Jen on why family history is about so much more than a pedigree chart. "There is no such thing as a boring ancestor. Get that out of your head right now. Some of the most interesting people I've encountered are the ones people say are not very interesting. Agricultural laborers are a great example. There are thousands of them. And they lived a really incredible life." — Jen on the myth of the uninteresting ancestor. "People remember things with all five senses. Put a photograph down in front of them and say, what do you remember about this day? Or ask about their first car, their father's job, the family rumors. If you can get them into telling stories, that's where those little nuggets of data come from." — Jen on interviewing living relatives. "In 1911, there were hundreds of women across the country who were not listed in the census because they would write instead: no vote, no census. If I'm not allowed to vote, then you don't get to count me as a citizen on your government form." — Jen on the suffragists' census boycott. "You have seven different households at the same address. They had a routine of who got to use the bed and when. While one person was at work, the other family was in the kitchen, family three was in the bedroom sleeping, family four was doing whatever. They worked off a rotation." — Jen on what the 1921 census revealed about Birmingham's back-to-back houses. "Slow is fast in genealogy. If you take your time and really make sure you have these relationships correct, future you will thank you significantly. Nobody begins with 500 ancestors. Everybody starts with one person — and that's you." — Jen's single most important piece of advice for beginners. "Common sense is queen in genealogy. If you have a Jonathan Thomas born in Yorkshire and a Jonathan Thomas born in Devon, but the whole family is in Yorkshire the whole time, why would someone suddenly be born in Devon? Let that common sense guide you." — Jen on avoiding the most common beginner mistake. "Just to compare with the United States — every state records these things differently, possibly every county within every state. But in England and Wales, it's universal. Everybody goes through the same national system. It doesn't matter where in the country they are born or died. They are findable." — Jen on why civil registration is such a powerful tool for British research. "There's a seven-year-old who stole a pound and was transported to Australia. A single pound. That's probably one of the saddest ones I've ever found." — Jen on the human cost visible in the criminal records. "No one knows your family better than you do. You won't find it without sitting down and doing it. It's exciting and it's history and it's fun and it's addictive and it can be very challenging — it's like playing detective all the time. But it is a lifelong hobby that I guarantee will give you a lot of satisfaction." — Jen's closing encouragement to anyone who's nervous about starting.

In this second sponsored episode with Findmypast — the follow-up to our Genealogy 101 introduction — Jonathan Thomas and Jen Baldwin, Research Specialist at Findmypast, go deeper into the records, techniques, and stories that turn a nervous beginner into a confident family historian. The episode covers the extraordinary richness of the 1921 census and 1939 register, why the newspaper archive is the place where ancestors stop being names and start being people, how the Industrial Revolution left its fingerprints across every family tree, the truth about name changes and spelling variations (it was almost never Ellis Island), how to avoid drowning in common surnames like Thomas or Smith, the unexpected discoveries that make genealogy so addictive — including Jen's own Cornish mail-order bride ancestor, an Irish great-great-grandfather with two arrests across two countries, and Audrey Thompson the World War II rat-catching champion — and how to connect all of it to the great currents of British history. The episode also covers parish records, military records, DNA testing, the role of offline archives, and the mindset that keeps family history a lifelong joy rather than a frustrating quest for perfection. If you haven't heard the first episode, Genealogy 101, go back and listen to that one first.

Podcast — Jen Baldwin Also Referenced Genealogy 101 — Previous Episode with Jen Baldwin (listen first) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The 1921 census and 1939 register work best as a pair — together they bookend the interwar period, and used in combination they can anchor a family from living memory all the way back through the Victorian era. The 1921 is the most detailed census ever taken in England and Wales; the 1939 register is the only census-style record with full birth dates and tracks maiden-to-married name changes for women. The 1939 register is the foundational document of the NHS — a living document updated for decades after the war, making it uniquely valuable for women's research. ARP warden and Home Guard volunteer roles recorded in its margins bring the home front of World War II vividly to life. Less than 10% of historical records are currently available online. The other 90% live in county record offices, local archives, churches, and museums — and going to them in person, touching the original documents, is an irreplaceable experience that no screen can fully replicate. Names were almost never changed at Ellis Island. Spelling variations in records happen because clerks wrote what they heard, literacy levels were inconsistent, and people adapted their names to the culture they found themselves in. You are researching people, not names — and building a mountain of evidence is the only reliable way to confirm you have the right person. Common surnames are a solvable problem: search by address rather than name, find an unusual first name in the same family, use occupations as a generational signature, and use Findmypast's wildcard and name-variation search tools to cast a wider net before narrowing down. Military records are one of the most common gateways to unexpected discovery — attestation papers, service records, pension files, and medal rolls fill in the specifics of what an ancestor actually did, where they served, and what happened to them. The Pals battalions of World War I, where entire communities enlisted together and died together, are particularly powerful to research. Parish records predate civil registration by centuries — the earliest on Findmypast go back to the 1300s — and the parish chest records that accompany them reveal an ancestor's role in their community: tax records, poor relief, bastardy orders, apprenticeship documents, and more that have nothing to do with baptism but everything to do with understanding a life. DNA testing adds a powerful new dimension to family research — not as a replacement for documentary evidence, but as a corroborating tool that can confirm suspected connections, break through brick walls by connecting you to unknown cousins, and reveal migration patterns that the paper records haven't caught yet. The best cure for a genealogy brick wall is to switch branches entirely. Fresh eyes on a different part of the family tree — maternal lines, in-laws, siblings — often reveals the clue that unlocks the original problem. The answer to who your Thomas ancestor was is sometimes hiding in his wife's maiden name records. Replace the goal of a perfect family tree with the practice of curiosity. The satisfaction of genealogy is not in the quantity of ancestors collected but in the two-in-the-morning moment when everything suddenly clicks — and that moment always opens a hundred new questions. This is a lifelong hobby, and patience rewards it far more than brilliance does. Soundbites "She answers a mail order bride ad in Cornwall. She travels by herself across the Atlantic, gets on a train, goes to the highest incorporated town in Colorado at ten thousand feet, marries this man sight unseen. He dies in a mining accident. She waits a few months, answers another ad, gets on another train with her kids, moves to Nebraska. They shake hands, go to the courthouse, get married. That's not as unusual as you might think." — Jen on her Cornish ancestor Mary Daniels and the extraordinary ordinary lives migration records reveal. "Their name was not changed at Ellis Island. Did it happen occasionally? Yes. But not because someone at a table said, I think you look more like a Smith. Names change because clerks wrote what they heard. You are researching people, not names." — Jen on the biggest myth in genealogy. "I found a gentleman who fills the census in black ink — except for the marriage column, which is a giant red D that he has clearly spent a lot of time on. It's written over and over. You can see the imprint on the page. He felt very passionately about his divorce." — Jen on the 1921 census entry that is worth the price of a subscription on its own. "She volunteers for the Women's Land Army and the next thing you know she is the country's top rat catcher. She enters the competition, travels the country giving presentations, getting her picture taken by local media — the top rat catcher fighting to save Britain from the Nazis. Because we needed the crops." — Jen on Audrey Thompson, one of her favorite unexpected discoveries. "He gets arrested twice. Once in Ireland and once in Wales — the situation in Wales was a bar fight, quite literally, covered in the newspaper in a lot of detail. He ends up in Cork prison, then Wales, then Liverpool, then Pennsylvania. I know all of that because of newspapers, arrest records, and a passenger list. The records all connect to tell a much deeper story." — Jen on tracing an Irish ancestor through famine, crime, and migration. "There's only about a percent of historical materials actually available online. There are more records sitting in archives and churches and museums and little nuggets all over the country. Go to the county records office. Go to the cemetery. Touch grass. Actually get away from the screen — because it connects you with the past in a way you could never duplicate in an online experience." — Jen on why physical archives still matter. "The 1939 register is the foundational records for the National Health Service. It was a living document for decades after the war. When women got married from 1939 on, you have their maiden name recorded and then they would go in and scratch out the maiden name and write their married name over the top. For women's research, it's particularly important." — Jen on why the 1939 register is so valuable. "I went to the church in St. Dunstan's Parish in the East. They still have the same baptismal font sitting in the building. And the steps down to the Thames along Radcliffe Highway are still in the same place as they were in the 1600s when my ancestors would have been there. I believe I'm the first person in our direct line to go back to London since they left in 1635. That first trip over was extraordinarily special." — Jen on the moment family history becomes real. "In a Pals battalion, they recruited whole battalions from the same community. All those men were neighbors before the war. They went to school together, they married each other's sisters, they went to church together. You get this situation where you're looking at an entire village of people who enlist and then get caught up in a battle and hundreds of them die in the same night. This is more than just a pedigree chart. This is an opportunity to remember them." — Jen on World War I Pals battalions and why war memorials matter. "You make a discovery and you've been researching this for hours or sometimes months or years, and you finally find it. It's two o'clock in the morning and you are literally jumping up and down in front of your computer. And then you realize I found this thing — but now I have a hundred more questions. That's the bit that keeps people coming back." — Jen on the true nature of the genealogy addiction.

Responders, representing relevant authorities and humanitarian actors, rely on online communication during and after disasters and emergencies - both as a tool to reach exposed populations, to organize and coordinate responses and to mobilize resources. However, disasters and emergencies also spark more problematic online attention and reactions including the targeting of marginalized populations. IFRCs World Disaster Report 2026 featured a contribution from Yasin Duman, Research Specialist and Shona Whitton, Heading the Technical Team both representing the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement MHPSS Hub. The topic of the contribution was Online racism and mental health after disasters. This podcast, moderated by Dr. Carmen Valle-Trabadelo, Head of the Communications, Humanitarian Diplomacy and Research Team in the MHPSS Hub, pics up some of the key-examples discussed in the contribution and links them to the broader discussion of the mental health implications, the causalities that generate them and the potential mitigation measures needed to address them.For further information: IFRC World Disaster Report, Contribution, Online racism and mental health after disasters.

In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald speaks with Tom Fabian, PhD, Senior Educator and Research Specialist at Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory, about why higher protein intake doesn't always lead to better muscle outcomes. Emerging research shows that digestion, microbiome balance, and immune signaling all influence how effectively the body utilizes dietary protein. Dr. Fabian explores the gut–muscle axis and explains how microbiome-derived metabolites and regulatory T cells support tissue repair and recovery. The conversation also highlights why variability in protein digestion matters and how evaluating gut function can help practitioners determine whether patients are positioned to benefit from higher protein intake.

In this meeting, I have the utter privilege of holding the space to shine a light on Dr. Zachery Spire and his AWE-some work. ⁠Dr Zachery Spire⁠ is Research Specialist focusing on Community Engagement at Origon State University (OSU). His background and research are mixed-methods research into student and staff engagement. He is a specialist in the study of social determinants of university access, participation, recruitment and retention. His cross-national studies focus on housing for young people in city contexts.Together, we explored the relational aspects of education and the university's role as a social institution, discussing concepts like liminal spaces and the importance of dialogue in learning environments. We also examined how technology and the Socratic method are transforming educational spaces, while emphasising the value of being present and creating safe spaces for learning and personal growth. This imperfectly perfect conversation concluded with discussions about social inequalities in education and the importance of fostering community and collaboration rather than competition in academic settings. If you are passionate about social change, liminal spaces, flourishing and spaces for curiosity, and being, then this episode is for you!Thank you, Zach! I loved every second of this BEAUTY-full encounter with you. Thanks for all the meandering!

New Zealand will have first use of the world's first portable brain scanner that could change how concussion is diagnosed for rugby players – but will it work as said? The device —known as the Nurocheck headset— can allegedly detect head injuries in two minutes. Medtech Labs Group CEO Michael Lee says although the brain scanner will be rolled out next month, rugby clubs will have to wait a little longer. Sports injury research specialist Dr Doug King told Francesca Rudkin while the concept it legitimate, the research backing it is not. He says concussions are one of the most complex things you can try and detect, and while this could be realistic in the future, the science just isn't there yet.

During this week's episode of NAPS Chat, Joy Sazone, Research Specialist at the Postal Service Office of Inspector General (OIG), talks with Bob about a recently issued OIG "White Paper" on the investment of Postal Service pension funds. Joy was the lead author of the White Paper. In part, the paper suggests that had past CSRS and FERS contributions been invested in stock and bond index funds, the value of the USPS and employee contributions would have grown to $1.2 trillion, rather than the current balance of $298 billion. Under current law, CSRS and FERS contributions must be invested in low-yield U.S. Treasury securities. Joy and Bob discuss the implications of a change in investment strategy.

Who do candidates call when they want opposition research on their opponents? While you're at it, you better do research on yourself as a candidate and face up to your own skeletons! Matt Barron has been lit up by politics ever since he canvassed for anti-Vietnam War congressional candidate Father Robert Drinan in 1970. Drinan won and made his mark on Capitol Hill and across the country, meanwhile, Barron has made his impact behind the scenes, working for countless candidates and causes over the past four decades. We unpack opposition research and how transparency typically benefits candidates, and how, most often, stubbornness does not benefit them. We take a look at the (to this point) extraordinarily quiet race for governor in Massachusetts, Maura Healey's frontrunner status, and how she may break the electoral curse of the attorney general position in Massachusetts (the list of losses for higher office is long: Martha Coakley, Tom Reilly, Scott Harshbarger, etc.) We also cover the severe lack of transparency on Beacon Hill, a trend toward secret deliberations, and the authoritarian nature of the house speaker. In addition our conversation includes: the dwindling number of reporters covering politics and the negative impact to transparency and increase in puff pieces, the contrast between former Congressman John Oliver and current Congressman Richard Neal, Super PACs, an increasing number of Republican registrations in Massachusetts, National Democrats' inability to connect with rural voters, the massive impact that inflation will have on the 2022 election cycle, the Fair Share effort in Massachusetts, how a lot of the joy has been taken out of campaigns because of the cutthroat nature of politics today on the national level, and we cover Matt's exhibit of photographs of Northeast U.S. Post Offices taken from 1965 to 2021 now on display at the Spellman Museum in Weston, Massachusetts, and much more! I hope you'll enjoy my conversation with Matt Barron. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-krol/support
