Every family has a story, but the real magic lies in the chase to uncover it. Chasing Hazel's Tales-A Family History Podcast is that journey, hosted by Kimberly McLaughlin and Laura Ireland. We move beyond the simple facts of dates and places, digging into the personalities, mysteries, and unexpected turns that define our lineage. The discovery of who Hazel truly was became our starting point, and from there, each episode follows a new thread, whether it’s through traditional research, family lore, or the modern revelations of DNA testing. You’ll hear our genuine reactions, setbacks, and breakthroughs as we piece together narratives from ancestors both near and far. This isn't just a dry recounting of genealogy; it's about the human connections we find along the way. With original music by Andrew McLaughlin setting the tone, our conversations feel like sitting down with friends who are equally obsessed with the past. Tune in for a thoughtful blend of history and personal reflection, where every document, photograph, or DNA match can lead to a story that changes how we see ourselves. This podcast is for anyone curious about the layers of their own family’s history, reminding us that we’re all part of a much larger, ongoing tale.
