Fisher and David
Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society and American Ancestors, talk about some of the historic
anniversaries happening right now. One involved one of
David's ancestors and a pitchfork! Plus David has made a new
"tech" find that is sure to make you both excited and
uncomfortable! It's called Periscope. Hear what it's
all about in the opening segment.
Then, Fisher visits with well known blogger,
"Dear Myrtle." Myrtle's been thinking hard about what's going
to happen to all the papers, documents, and photos she's collected
over the years when she's gone. It's a topic you need to be
thinking about. It's a conversation you need to be a part
of.
Dan Vanderkam,
creator of OldNYC.org and OldSF.org, then
talks with Fisher about his masterful interactive map creations and
how they can help you locate ancestral homes. Fisher says he
has lost more golf time going through these maps and looking at the
thousands of old photos associated with each block.
Tom Perry, the
Preservation Authority, from TMCPlace.com, wraps up the show answering a great
listener question about dealing with noises created in the
digitization process from an old audio cassette. Remember if you
have a preservation question for Tom, email him at
AskTom@TMCPlace.com!
That's all this
week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Radio Show &
Podcast!
