In segment one,
Fisher's Family Histoire News covers the research results covering
an 18th century boat found under the World Trade Center four years
ago. You'll be amazed what researchers were able to learn
about this 200 year old ship! Plus, the odds were ridiculous.
Find out about a young girl who drew the name of an
Englishman who was killed in World War I, and learned he was her
great great great uncle!
Fisher visits
with guest Chris Tomlinson about the first family history he ever
wrote. (It just made the New York Times Bestsellers list!)
"Tomlinson Hill" tracks Chris' ancestry back to his great
great grandparents who were slave owners in Texas. He then
followed the history of the "white Tomlinsons" as well as the
"black Tomlinsons," descendants of the slaves his ancestors owned.
Those descendants include football great Ladainian Tomlinson.
He discusses the differences in the course of these families
through the years and how this creates a broader view of race
relations today.
Then Tom Perry,
Preservation Authority from TMCPlace.com, returns. He and
Fisher share insights into the best ways to get the best stories
out of your senior family members... and some are a little sneaky!
