Ron Fox returns to the show. Ron was on just a few weeks ago
talking about collecting things relating to your ancestors.
Fisher took his advice and, recognizing he was letting an
opportunity slip away, went to work. The result was a haul of
family history treasures, some dating back over 160 years, that
left him speechless. Fisher and Fox discuss the particulars
and how you could potentially do the same thing.
Dr. Mark
Shriver from Penn State then joins the show by phone to discuss his
experiments into how DNA might one day soon be able to “predict”
your ancestor’s face! Sounds like science fiction, but Dr.
Shriver says not so.
And Tom Perry,
the Preservation Authority from TMCPlace.com shocks Fisher with an answer
to a listener question about how to get at your grandparents’ old
movies. Tom then gives important contact information to
assure you get proper permissions for use of copyrighted materials
when using them in family history presentations.
