I've been discovering some surprises during genealogy research, including the Picts of Scotland, a mysterious group of people in the early Middle Ages.

Songs I recommend with today’s episode can be found on the Spotify playlist I made to accompany this podcast. For each episode I’ve done or will do, I’ve pulled together a few songs. The ones for this episode are:

• Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk by Rufus Wainwright
• Scottish Winds by Frightened Rabbit
• Blue by A Perfect Circle
