In this classic rewind from 2017, host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. The guys were preparing for RootsTech in Salt Lake City, Utah. David talks about a new record set by Queen Elizabeth II… and what a record it is! David then talks about a recent visitor he entertained who was certain of a very unique heritage. Wait until you hear what it is! David also shares a heart rending story about the remarkable way two cousins reconnected after nearly 80 years, and the place in history they share. And a celebration is on in one American city recognizing the anniversary of America's oldest subway system.
With it being Halloween weekend you'll appreciate our two guest interviews this week. The first is with Professor Emerson Baker of Salem State University. Professor Baker is part of a committee that was able to confirm the precise location of the site of execution of the Salem "witches." He talks about the methods and clues they used to confirm what once was known only through tradition.
Then, catch Fisher's visit with "Jersey Girl" Sue Wynne, a passionate genie, who learned that her fourth great grandmother was buried twice AND viewed twice… over several years! What's the story behind this incredible discovery? You'll want to hear it.
Tom Perry of TMCPlace.com then joins the show to talk preservation, answering listener questions.
That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!
