Episode Details

In this insightful episode of the Dis A Fi Mi History Podcast, we explore Haitian genealogy with Gilles Hudicourt, a passionate genealogist and founding member of the Association de Généalogie d'Haiti. From the journey of tracing his own Haitian roots through old family records to the establishment of a vital resource for Caribbean history, Gilles shares his insights into preserving ancestral heritage. This episode emphasizes the challenges and rewards of genealogical research, particularly within the context of Haiti's National Archives and the digitization efforts that enhance access to historical records. As Gilles uncovers the wealth of information found in wedding certificates and discusses the emotional significance of these discoveries, we are reminded of the profound connection we have with our family history.
