A Universal Quest for Answers About Family and Ourselves

DNA Podcast Ep: 2

DNA Clarity and Support is a new podcast that covers the growing phenomenon of DNA discoveries and how unexpected findings have the power to change lives, redefine personal identity, and restructure families. Episode 2 is now available for listening anywhere podcasts are found!

In episode 2 of DNA Clarity and Support, author Mary Beth Sammons shares with host Brianne Kirkpatrick the backstory to Ancestry Quest. This quick-and-easy read explores the stories of dozens of individuals who found meaning and connection to family and their history, sometimes after an intentional search and sometimes by happenstance. If you’re a “chicken soup for the soul” type of reader, Sammons’ approach to writing about families will appeal. Sammons reminds us that when you search for the silver linings, you are sure to find them.
