Rediscovering Latinidad
Hosted by Rediscovering Latinidad · EN
Rediscovering Latinidad is made with love and dedication to the art of family history. Too often the search for family history can seem Eurocentric and inefficient for those identifying as Latiné, LatinX, and anywhere in between. Let’s share our stories, our resources, and discuss why this all matters. In the search for who we are, we can understand more from our ancestors and their stories.

Transcribe →Season 8 Episode 10 El Crimen Real: Vanessa Guillén: Justicia, Silencio y el Sistema que la falló
4w ago00:36:01Tap to summarizeOn today's episode we discuss the case of Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old Latina soldier whose disappearance and death at Fort Hood in 2020 led to national outrage, widespread protests, and a reckoning within the U.S. military. Vanessa’s story is not only a true crime case; it is a story about silence, fear, and the systems that failed to protect her. We walk through the timeline of her disappearance, the investigation that followed, and the shocking details that came to light. We also discuss the allegations of harassment she shared with her family before her death, and the broader culture within the military that has left many service members feeling unsafe or unheard. Most importantly, we reflect on the impact of her case: how her family, especially her sister Lupe Guillén, transformed grief into advocacy, pushing for accountability and reform through what became known as the I Am Vanessa Guillén Act.This episode is handled with care and respect for Vanessa, her family, and all those who have experienced similar injustices.Watch Edward's free online webinar: "How Full-Text Search Can Find Latin American Genealogy" https://www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech/session/how-full-text-search-can-uncover-latin-american-genealogyFollow us on social media: Facebook: Rediscovering LatinidadInstagram: @RediscoveringLatinidadBluesky: @RediscLatinidad X: @RediscLatinidadReddit: r/RediscoveringLatindadPlease visit Edward's blogs!

Transcribe →Season 8 Episode 9 Queenship pt 2 Reina, Madre, Imperio: El Legado de la Reina Isabella y su linaje
Apr 2401:00:24Tap to summarizeOn today's episode we explore the powerful intersection of genealogy, history, and queenship with renowned historians Susan Abernethy and Ellie Woodacre.Together, we dive into the life and legacy of Isabella I of Castile, one of the most influential monarchs in European history, and trace the extraordinary lineage that followed through her daughters and granddaughters.From Juana of Castile (whose story has long been shaped by narratives of madness and control) to Catherine of Aragon (whose marriage to Henry VIII would alter the course of English and religious history), we examine how these women navigated power, expectation, and legacy.We also explore the next generation, including figures like Mary I of England, whose reign continues to be debated and reinterpreted.Through the lens of queenship, this episode asks deeper questions about:How power is inherited and exercised through family linesHow women in history are remembered, misunderstood, or erasedHow genealogy shapes not just families but entire empiresThis conversation reminds us that royal family trees are not just about lineage; they are about influence, narrative, and the lasting impact of women whose lives shaped history across generations.Watch Edward's free online webinar: "How Full-Text Search Can Find Latin American Genealogy" https://www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech/session/how-full-text-search-can-uncover-latin-american-genealogyRead Edward's blog Genetic Funhouse about his latest adventures with Full-Text Search:"Can AI Test for Limipeza de Sangre?"

Transcribe →Season 8 Episode 8 John Phillip Santos, La raza cósmica a los 100 años y nuestros 100 capítulos
Apr 1601:34:06Tap to summarizeIn this milestone 100th episode of Rediscovering Latinidad, we reflect on identity, history, and the stories that shape who we are, both collectively and personally.We are honored to be joined by acclaimed author and journalist John Phillip Santos, whose work explores memory, ancestry, and the evolving meaning of Latinidad across generations. We discuss his books Places Left Unfinished at the Time of Creation and The Farthest Home Is in an Empire of Fire, and how storytelling can preserve the histories that are often left undocumented.This conversation takes place at a powerful cultural moment:100 years after the publication of La Raza Cósmica by José Vasconcelos. Together, we explore how ideas of race, identity, and cultural synthesis have evolved over the past century, and what they mean for us today.In the final segment of the episode, we turn inward. The three cohosts reflect on the journey of reaching 100 episodes: what it has meant to build this space, the conversations that stayed with us, and the episodes that defined our growth along the way.This episode is about legacy. About the stories we inherit, the ones we tell, and the ones we’re still learning how to understand.Watch Edward's free online webinar: "How Full-Text Search Can Find Latin American Genealogy" https://www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech/session/how-full-text-search-can-uncover-latin-american-genealogyRead Edward's blog Genetic Funhouse about his latest adventures with Full-Text Search:"Can AI Test for Limipeza de Sangre?"

Transcribe →Season 8 Episode 7 Club de Lectura: Archives of Unknown Universes
Apr 1001:08:31Tap to summarizeOn today's episode, we dive into Archive of Unknown Universes by Rubén Reyes Jr., a speculative fiction collection that explores alternate realities, diaspora identity, and the fragile turning points that shape our lives. Through stories rooted in Salvadoran history, migration, and memory, this book asks a powerful question:What if our lives (and our family histories) had unfolded differently?As a podcast centered on Latino genealogy and heritage, this conversation goes beyond the page. We reflect on the real-life “alternate universes” within our own family trees, the moments where everything could have changed. A decision to leave or stay. A war survived. A path taken.....or not taken. For many of us, especially those shaped by migration, those alternate realities are not abstract, they’re incredibly real.This episode explores how speculative fiction can help us understand identity, ancestry, and the invisible threads connecting past, present, and future.For anyone exploring their roots, this episode reframes genealogy as something deeper than names and dates. It becomes a way of understanding possibility, loss, survival, and the many lives that exist just beyond the one we know.If one moment in your family’s past had gone differently…who would you be today?“Our lives are just one version of many possible histories, and our family trees are the evidence.”Watch Edward's free online webinar: "How Full-Text Search Can Find Latin American Genealogy" https://www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech/session/how-full-text-search-can-uncover-latin-american-genealogyRead Edward's blog Genetic Funhouse about his latest adventures with Full-Text Search:"Can AI Test for Limipeza de Sangre?"

Transcribe →Season 8 Episode 4 La Dra. Virginia Sánchez Korrol sobre la historia puertorriqueña, la academia y la ruptura de barreras.
Mar 1901:21:23Tap to summarizeIn this special episode of Rediscovering Latinidad, we sit down with trailblazing historian and scholar Dr. Virginia Sánchez Korrol, a pioneer in Puerto Rican Studies whose work has helped shape how Puerto Rican history and diaspora are understood today.From her early life and academic journey to becoming one of the foundational voices in the field, Dr. Sánchez Korrol shares what it meant to pursue Puerto Rican history at a time when it was often overlooked or dismissed in academic spaces. She reflects on the barriers she faced, the institutions she helped build, and the importance of preserving our stories through both scholarship and community memory.We also explore her groundbreaking book From Colonia to Community, her work documenting Puerto Rican life in New York City, and how her research continues to influence new generations of scholars and genealogists.Finally, we discuss her involvement in the 2021 remake of West Side Story, and the significance of reclaiming Puerto Rican narratives and representation in mainstream media.Watch Edward's free online webinar: "How Full-Text Search Can Find Latin American Genealogy" https://www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech/session/how-full-text-search-can-uncover-latin-american-genealogyRead Edward's blog Genetic Funhouse about his latest adventures with Full-Text Search:"Can AI Test for Limipeza de Sangre?"
