On the Legacy of Dr. Harold W. Jordan and How to Research Your Family's Roots

In honor of Family History Month, we're veering from our normal format this week to highlight a segment of a documentary about my father, Dr. Harold W. Jordan, the inspiration behind this podcast. In this clip from a documentary we produced, my father and mother share their personal stories.
