S01EP01 - 'The Tyrant' with Daniel Smith-Ramos

  • Summary

  • In this first episode of Series One of The Family Histories Podcast sees host Andrew Martin talks to his guest Daniel Smith-Ramos - a genealogist with Spanish, English, and Italian-American ancestry. Daniel explains how he got hooked on researching his family history, the challenges of researching in Spain and the Spanish language, and we'll find out about how his new venture Revista Descendientes hopes to help make it easier.

    THE LIFE STORY - ALONSO MARTÍNEZ
    Daniel chooses to share the life story of his tyrannical 5x Great Grandfather Alonso Martínez (1765-1837) from Galicia, Spain, whose hypocritical and calculative behaviour manipulates his entire family, leaving them feeling alienated.

    THE BRICK WALL - MARY ELIZABETH VICKRESS
    Finally, Daniel will introduce us to his current research Brick Wall - Mary Elizabeth Vickress - a Victorian woman who seemingly outlived her entire family, only to go missing in 1886 in Birmingham, UK.

    Can you help Daniel to find the next clue in this mystery that could bring that brick wall crashing down? If so, you can message Daniel via his twitter @DSRGenealogist, or alternatively you can head over to our contact form and we'll pass your message on to him.

    In the meantime, Andrew offers Daniel some help with solving this puzzle using something he keeps in his garage....
