Fisher has
some incredible stories in this episode. Imagine a stranger
knocking at your door to tell you the grandfather who died before
you were born had left a message… 101 years ago! It happened
in Germany. Fisher shares the amazing details. Plus, a
Red Cross worker sketched soldiers in Holland in 1945. Photos
of roughly 100 of those sketches were recently found by family, and
an effort is now on to locate descendants of these World War II
heroes. We’ll tell you where to find out more. Could
one be of your ancestor? The Vatican Library has begun
digitizing. What’s in the collection that you could soon be
viewing on line? We’ll fill you in. And free Civil War
records are available on line through the end of April 2014.
Who? Where? Remain calm! It’s right in the
podcast.

of the stories they told about the 781st Tank
Battalion!
Then,
Chicago’s Thomas MacEntee introduces us to genealogical
cruises. There are such things! What do you do on
one? Where do you go? Who does them? Find out as
Fisher visits with Thomas.
And lastly,
Tom Perry, the Preservation Authority from TMCPlace.com returns to
