It's a 2015 rewind show for the holiday weekend, with a pair of
Fisher's favorite segments from the past year!
Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist
of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and
AmericanAncestors.org. David talks about a nine foot idol
discovered in Siberia in 1890. Only recently was it
determined just how old this item really is. Listen to the
podcast to find out! David also reveals some fascinating facts
about his grandfather, who disappeared on the streets of Boston
decades ago. He also shares a terrific "Tech Tip" that will
change the way you manage your photographs.
Then, Fisher visits with Fran Jensen who is all over the War of
1812 Project. The Project is well underway, digitizing the
pension records of the veterans of that war. Fran and some
associates have been reviewing them and has pulled out some gems,
found in the records, that she'll share in this segment.
Linda Emlee from Richmond, Missouri then talks about a night few
people have ever heard of. It's referred to as "The Night the
Stars Fell." It took place in 1833, and many of our ancestors
were affected. Wait til you hear the details.
Then, Tom Perry, the Preservation Authority, talks equipment for Do
It Yourselfers concerning digitizing and editing. It's always
great advice you won't want to miss!
That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History
Show!
