O TYM ODCINKU
Welcome to a special episode of Making Tracks Railway Podcast as Alasdair Stewart and producer Laura Raymond go on a mission to trace family railway history. They share their own family's stories and chat to others along the way.
Alasdair meets Ruth Willmore of the Society of Genealogists to get some tips on where to start looking for Railwaymen and women antecedants.
They also discuss with volunteers and railway staff with several generations of railway workers in their family, if being a railway fan is nature or nurture?
Join us to find out if either Laura and Alasdair are lucky in their search for long lost information!
