Ep. 96 - Reunion Prep 101 / Pursuing Lincoln's Mother

This week on Extreme Genes- America's Family History Show, Fisher opens with David Allen Lambert of the New England Historic Genealogical Society.  David talks about FamilySearch.org's upcoming "Fuel the Find," an effort to get 100,000 volunteers indexing records for one week in August.  David shares his experience with a direct descendant of a very important figure in American and French history, and has another awesome Tech Tip of the Week.  Plus... if you'd like a FREE house in Italy, perhaps where your ancestors lived, David tells you how you might get one! Fisher then visits with NEHGS genealogist, Christopher Child who, as a teen, began researching the confusing maternal ancestry of Abraham Lincoln.  (What were YOU doing as a teen?!)  Hear what Christopher learned and all about the journey his research took him on. Janet Hovorka from FamilyChartMasters.com returns with some unique and fun ideas for getting family of all ages involved in the heritage side of family reunions.  It's that time of year, and some of these things can be done last minute... so don't miss this segment. Then Tom Perry talks about cheap audio cassettes and how to maximize what still may be left on them.  The Preservation Authority always leaves us with important things to think about! That's all this week on Extreme Genes- America's Family History Show!
