Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist
of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and American
Ancestors talking about naming patterns, and how they can often
reveal the names of the parents' ancestors. Are clues to your
ancestor's ancestors sitting right under your nose? Fisher
and David will tell you how to break the code. David then
talks about the revealing of the identities of remains from the old
Jamestown settlement. Might one of them be your
ancestor? David then reports on the controversial reduction
of assets at the genealogy library in Phoenix, and shares another
Tech Tip of the Week, and NEHGS free database!
In segment two, Ancestry's Jennifer Utley, lead researcher for "Who
Do You Think You Are?" talks about the celebrities in this season's
episodes. Who was most interesting to work with, and where
did they film? Jennifer will provide the inside
story.
Then, Stan Lindaas of HeritageConsulting.com returns to talk about
criminal ancestors and why they shouldn't be hidden from your
children and grandchildren. Stan's got some crazy stories
from his own lines and from others.
Then, Tom Perry from TMCPlace.com, the Preservation Authority,
talks about Fisher's problem with old slides that have slipped out
of their protective cardboard holders. How can those images
be digitized or even viewed? As always, Tom has the
solutions. (If you have a preservation question, email Tom
at AskTom@tmcplace.com.)
It's all this week on Extreme Genes- America's Family History
Show!
