In Fisher's
opening segment, Fisher reveals that many listeners indicated they
had direct ancestors who died in their teens and 20s. In
Family Histoire News, Fisher talks about Jeremy Guthrie, a
Japanese-American who recently pitched in the World Series for the
Kansas City Royals. Guthrie was on an All-Star tour of Japan
and used a day off to connect with distant cousins his family had
never met. Hear how it all came together. Next was the
story of a mother and daughter who both gave birth on the same day!
Then, hear about the few dozen children of Civil War soldiers
who are still among us, and their memories of their fathers.
It's amazing to think it's even possible, but it is!
David Allen
Lambert of the New England Historic Genealogical Society then joins
Fisher to talk about the War of 1812. Did you know that
service of only a couple of weeks could get you a pension for that
war? David is loaded with great information on the war
itself, as well as what records are currently available and which
ones are coming on line.
Then, Andria
Cranney of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants talks about
the first Thanksgiving, and just what the Pilgrims actually ate!
How would your Thanksgiving be with no football, and plate
full of eel?! Andria's description is of a Thanksgiving like
none of us have ever experienced. Make sure your kids catch
this one!
Then, Tom Perry,
the Preservation Authority, talks about where technology is going
for preserving your digital records. Quantum Physics is now
coming into play. (It's way over Fisher's head!) Wait
until you hear what Tom has to say!
That's this week
on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!
