Fisher opens the
show with Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society and American Ancestors, David Allen Lambert.
David talks about using Find-A-Grave and Billion Graves to
create a burial lineage chart. He also talks about the NASA
"New Horizon" mission to Pluto and how a significant individual's
human remains are on it. Listen to the show to find out
whose! Plus, David tells you how you can go to Europe without
leaving North America. (Honest!) Then, David shares
with you another free database and Fisher fills you in on what's
happening with "Who Do You Think You Are?" "Turn: Washington's
Spies," and Henry Louis Gates' "Finding Your Roots." (Hint:
It's all good news!)
Fisher then
shares part one of his interview with genealogy visionary Gilad
Japhet, founder of MyHeritage. He talks about his passion for
genealogy, his idea for a technology based company that makes it
easier than ever to research, and the founding of MyHeritage.
He then begins to explain MyHeritage's new game changing
translation software.
In part two of
Fisher's interview with MyHeritage founder Gilad Japhet, Gilad goes
into the significance of MyHeritage's new translation software and
explains how it will work for us here in America, as well as for
researchers across the globe. He also explains the
significant residual benefit he expects to result from the release
of this new software. It's a rare interview you won't want to
miss!
Then Tom Perry,
the Preservation Authority from TMCPlace.com, answers a listener
question about salvaging an important VHS videotape from a damaged
VHS cartridge. Tom explains how professional outfits can save
the tape, and how you can do it at home... if you dare!
That's all this
week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!
