Heritage Hunters
Romance. Tragedy. Mysteries. All a part of your heritage. Each month, we will explore our guests' family trees and the inspirational stories of their ancestors. What lead them to begin their genealogy quest? What have they learned about their heritage? Hosts Barbara Jean May and Hope Callan-Beck are the founding members of Lower Bucks Genealogists, and have been researching their own family histories for 30+ years. We are the Heritage Hunters.
