Fisher’s
Family Histoire News talks about a real life “Saving Private Ryan”
family. Only they weren’t American. And it wasn’t in
World War II. He’ll tell you all about it. Plus, there
is one nation in the world with solid family records going back
over a thousand years, minimal immigration, and a population that
generally came from the same place. No research challenge
there! But geneticists love this place. Fisher will
tell you just what country we’re talking about.
Family
memorabilia can often lead us on a journey through a family’s
history. Stan Lindaas of HeritageConsulting.com returns to
tell us the remarkable story about the journey of a locket of hair
from Ludwig von Beethoven, and the family that owned it. Stan
did some of the research on this project, and you’ll want to hear
it.
Just about
anyone who has ever started a family history research project can
tell you, rarely does it go in the direction you expect. It
was certainly that way for Janet Lancaster of Modesto, California
who was asked to dig up just a few, simple facts on a prominent
citizen of Modesto from the 19th Century.
Both Janet and the town were astonished at what she learned!
You’ll enjoy both the story and learning about the process.
Tom Perry, our
Preservation Authority from TMCPlace.com returns to talk about your
best options in a digital video camera, and to answer a listener
question about preserving her great grandparents’ “courting”
letters.
