Fisher opens the
show with the story of his third great grandfather. He was a
substitute soldier in the War of 1812. Or was he?
Listen to the unusual find from the National Archives and you
decide. In "Family Histoire News," Fisher talks about the
couple that has probably been married longer than anyone ever.
How long was that? Wait til you hear the couple's ages.
A new free site is now available that searches only family
history books, county histories, and genealogical newsletters.
Fisher will tell you his experience with it and tell you
where to get it. A rare photo of Helen Keller is making news,
and, in Illinois, if you want to visit a grave on private property,
we've got good news for you. Be sure to catch the first
segment of the show to find out what's happening in "Family
Histoire News!"
In the next
segment Jennifer Utley, Research Manager for "Who Do You Think You
Are?" visits with Fisher about the new season that starts this
weekend on TLC! Jennifer shares some inside info on the show
you won't want to miss.
Then, blogger
Kitty Cooper (blog.KittyCooper.com) talks DNA. She's crazy for
it and has a great example of how you can use it to identify which
one of many candidates is, in fact, your ancestor. Even if
the name is "John Smith!" You might get crazy for DNA
too!
And Tom Perry
clears the air on editing and making usable your old videos and
home movies.
That's this week
on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!
