Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief
Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and
AmericanAncestors.org. David's "Family Histoire" news tells
us about a Connecticut couple who have been married longer than any
other couple in America! How long have they been married and
who are they? Catch the podcast. We also hear about the
passing of a woman who was America's oldest surviving
veteran. David will share with you where and when she served
and her remarkable age. Then, the two talk about a new cruise
ship, set to sail in 2018, that is the modern replica of another
ship that sank in 1912. Can you guess what it is? Plus
David's "Tech Tip" has to do with an exciting new announcement by
MyHeritage.com. And he shares another free database from
NEHGS. Listen to hear what it is.
In the second segment, David returns and talks with Fisher about
their highlights from the recent Roots Tech Conference in Salt Lake
City, Utah, focusing first on new products, including those from
the winners of the Innovator's Summit. They also talk about a
new data storage service that uses a life insurance company model
to assure your data stays within your family's control for
generations! (Fisher talks to the founder next week.) David
also reviews JRNL, a product having to do with keeping a digital
journal, and a French company that serves as a social media base
for your family and family history, only without the
databases. Fisher then plays back an incredible family
history discovery from Roots Tech. (Hint: She obtained an
ancestral item dating back to 1812!) Fisher and David also
talk visiting with keynote speaker, the renowned historian Doris
Kearns Goodwin, backstage.
Then, Dr. Kasia Bryc of 23andMe joins the show to talk about what
their research is saying about how we come together as
couples! Are they the differences or similarities that bring
us together? Is there a genetic tie here? Dr. Bryc has
some Valentines Day insight.
Then, Tom Perry from TMCPlace.com, the Preservation Authority,
returns with great advice on managing your various formats and
bringing them together in a presentable way.
That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History
Show!
