BioADay2022 - Wiley Franklin Odom

Here's another biography I developed on my quest to achieve one biography per day on my platform of choice, FamilySearch. With each ancestor, I always start with the auto-generated Life Story on Ancestry, copy it and paste it in the LifeStory field on FamilySearch. Then, I augment it with facts from census, vital, and other records, along with a little logical deduction thrown in for good measure. As I did before, I will read you the original from Ancestry and the final product on FamilySearch, complete with a list of sources. I hope that this inspires you to write a few biographies every month. It's the best way to come to understand the lives of our ancestors.Also, I'm no longer on Spotify. I explain that in the episode.Last, but absolutely not least, HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!You can join my Facebook group - just be sure to answer the screening questions and agree to the house rules.Please follow my YouTube channel here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4tQI4aeIZfnqK4LRKTmplA) - I will be doing more videos face to face, and perhaps even some live, with chat and everything!Please rate and review the podcast on your podcast provider, at https://apple.co/2MLZW4H (https://apple.co/2MLZW4H), or at facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy (http://facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy).If you want to be on the podcast from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD using the Zoom platform and a good mic and earphones (how about that Family Cookbook series??), you can contact me at https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm (https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm).Stop by the website at ancestorsalivegenealogy.com (http://ancestorsalivegenealogy.com/), IG @fppppodcast (https://www.instagram.com/fppppodcast/), Clubhouse @ancestorsalive and Twitter at both @fpppppodcast (http://twitter.com/fppppodcast) and @ancestorsalive (http://twitter.com/ancestorsalive)Sponsor the podcast at patreon.com/AncestorsAlive (http://patreon.com/AncestorsAlive) for super-fantastic rewards, including SWAG for different levels of sponsorship AND monthly polls that yield even more SWAG.
