Fisher opens the
show with an amazing story about a holiday incident in his family
in the 1960s. In Family Histoire news, a new study of Viking
DNA reveals that Vikings wives may have played a more "hands on"
role in their conquests than previous known. Also, the
Vikings are now believed to have settled on particular island city
that you are well aware of. What city was it? Listen to
the story to learn more. Then, a woman in Virginia discovered
a home embalming kit and some very cool records in her home that
once belonged to her great grandfather. What did the records
reveal and what is she doing with them? Fisher will tell
you.
Then, guest Judy
Russell, the Legal Genealogist, talks about the ethics of DNA
research and the ongoing debate about how potentially
"embarrassing" results should be handled. How do DNA secrets
compare to secrets revealed by other materials? Judy will
have some thoughts.
George Ott,
genealogist for ProGenealogists.com, shares the stories of his
interactions with stars Bob Hope and Jimmy Stewart in researching
their family lines. George will also have some special
techniques that could make all the difference in your
research!
Tom Perry, the
Preservation Authority from TMCPlace.com, will then fill you in on
last minute family history Christmas gifts you can create.
That's this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!
