Fisher opens
with a recap of this week's episode of Who Do You Think You Are?
featuring Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson. (Once again,
an ancestor was accused of a crime!) Rachel McAdams is
featured this week. In this week's "Family Histoire News..."
With the centennial of the start of World War I, a lot of new
resources for researching your ancestor, as well as books about the
experiences are out. Fisher talks about "Wyndham's War," from
the diaries of a British man who was vacationing in Germany when
the war began, and was held there for four years. Also, New
York Mayor Bill DeBlasio is visiting his ancestral hometowns in
Italy, and are they rolling out the red carpet! (If you've
ever taken that kind of trip, you'll be SO jealous of the
treatment!)
Then, our guest
for two full segments is 89 year old Ralph Gates. Ralph's
father served in World War I and shares some of his story.
Ralph himself served in World War II. As a teenager, he
was assigned to work on the Manhattan Project! What was his
role? How did he feel about how the war ended? We talk
about it all with Ralph Gates.
Tom Perry from
TMCPlace.com is back to answer your preservation questions.
That's this week
on Extreme Genes, Family History Radio!
