RLP 257: Alford/Johnson Project - Interview with Michelle Mickelson Part 1

The Research Like a Pro Genealogy Podcast

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about the Family Locket Genealogists project to write up our client's research about James William Johnson and his origins. In episode 256, we interviewed James Wesley Johnson about his ancestor James William Johnson and the discovery that James was actually Patrick Alford. James asked Family Locket to verify his research and write up the research professionally. Michelle Mickelson, one of our researchers, took on this task, and is sharing how she began the project. This is part 1 of a 3 part series.
