NYG&B President D. Joshua Taylor reunites with his former PBS Genealogy Roadshow co-host, Kenyatta Berry, on Ms. Berry’s latest podcast episode of “Conversations with Kenyatta” for a lively discussion on genealogy and tools of the trade.  

Mr. Taylor shares why he pursued a career in genealogy and what he enjoys the most—along with his own genealogical journey and what he is still learning. The two also reminisce about their time together on Genealogy Roadshow, including favorite moments, behind-the-scenes insights, and the challenges and rewards of making family history more accessible for people.  

Additionally, Mr. Taylor offers advice for those interested in becoming professional genealogists (hint: they are rarely successful operating by themselves). Mr. Taylor and Ms. Berry also delve into genealogy trends and the industry’s evolving future, including gamechangers on the horizon for opening up many more stories for people to uncover.
