Fisher opens the
show with word of the discovery of photos of third great
grandparents of an American president? Who were they and is
he? Fisher will tell you. Across the pond, 41 million
wills dating back to 1858 are going on line! What government
is making this available to you? Find out here!
Jen Allen of
FamilySearch.org joins the show next to fill us in on what to
expect at this year's combined Roots Tech and Federation of
Genealogical Societies conventions! There's a lot happening
in Salt Lake City, Utah in February, and you can participate from
wherever you are, as Jen will explain. Whatever your level of
experience, Jen will rev up your engines talking about classes,
speakers, and demonstrations of new technologies.
Fisher then
talks to Missouris Glenna Johnson about the quilt she found dating
back almost seventy years, following the passing of her mother.
It's turned into quite a project researching the names
connected to it. Hear all about it. Then Fisher answers
a listener question about the listeners DNA test... why didn't it
reflect what he knew about his ancestry?
Then, Tom Perry
is back from Las Vegas and the recent Consumer Electronics Show in
Las Vegas. He's pumped up about all the new techie things
that family historians will now be able to put to use!
That's all this
week on Extreme Genes, Family History Radio!
