A genealogy breakthrough with Dr Fran Tyler and Deb Morris

From Summer Times, 9:45 am today

You may remember Dr Fran and Deb of Genealogy Investigations from the first week of Summer Times.

We asked listeners to get in touch if they had hit a brick wall while researching their family tree.

One of the emails we received was from Marlene Whetton, who wanted to trace the birth family of her maternal grandmother, Violet, who was adopted out and died when Marlene's mother was only three months old.

Fran and Marlene join Anna to share an update.
