Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. David begins Family Histoire News with an update on the damage done in the attack of a homeless man on historic cemeteries in Boston. Then, the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party is coming. David talks about the rapidly approaching celebration. We've gotten accustomed to hearing about people discovering they were switched at birth through DNA, but wait til you hear this one woman's story! It has more twists and turns than we've ever heard. Can the extinct Dodo bird become "unextinctified?" (Thank you George W. Bush!) One company thinks so. David will explain.
In segment two, Fisher shares his 2021 interview with the late Jack Holder. Jack passed this year at 101 years old, but his story will live forever. Hear him describe how he could see the smiling face of a Japanese pilot while he was being strafed at Pearl Harbor!
Then, Gage DeWitt returns to the show to talk about his new interest… creating tin type photographs. Not many people do it and for good reason. The chemicals are dangerous. Gage and his girl friend, Molly McNeal, talk about this risky hobby they hope to turn into a little business, and how they have recreated the 19th century process.
Fisher and David then return for Ask Us Anything.
That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!
