It’s Here! Season 2 of GenClub!
Join the GenClub Panel as they talk with Paul Chiddicks of Stories Behind the Records about his article, Adelaide Springett.
In this episode of GenClub, family historian Paul Chiddicks shares how one Victorian photograph of a young girl, Adelaide Springett, led him from "cold data" to a moving story of poverty, resilience, and survival in East London. The panel explores what the records reveal — and what they can't — asking: If we're not their voice, who will tell their stories?

How do I take my family history research and turn it into something my descendants will want to read?
The answer to the question can be found in the Genealogy Storyteller Virtual Summit. We invite you to an experience you won’t forget. You’ll learn how to…
Overcome the self-doubt that keeps so many family historians from ever calling themselves storytellers, and turn that hesitation into the confidence to finally start writing.
Navigate the Internet Archive as a family history contributor
Organize your research, identify turning points, and shape scattered facts into a focused narrative path so your family history becomes easier to write, share, and preserve.
Transform your family history research into richer, more meaningful narrative writing through microhistory — moving beyond isolated facts to build stories that feel grounded, human, and historically connected.
Build your family history counter-archive for public access that will future proof your family’s legacy, one story at a time or as a collection.
Five presenters. Five pieces of the same journey: from researcher, to storyteller, to steward.

What does being part of Genealogy Matters Magazine really mean?
It means your family history story doesn’t disappear.
So much of what we uncover — the late nights tracing ship manifests, the courthouse records, the handwritten letters — lives in notebooks, blog posts, and memory. Here, it gets a permanent home. A citable, archivable, lasting home.
Genealogy Matters Magazine exists because family history deserves more than a footnote. It deserves a place on the shelf.
And it deserves to be written by people like you.
This magazine exists because of this community. Thank you for being part of it.
