Episode 438 - Ordinary People With Extraordinary Finds- Chicago Man Finds Ties To Execution of King Charles I / Long Island Man Learns Dad Fought Nazis... In The USA!

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. Family Histoire News begins with a fab news concerning one of the Fab Four… Ringo Starr. Hear how the remarriage of a great grandmother likely changed pop history! Then, over 100 people are each inheriting $60,000 from a man they never met and likely never even heard of. Catch the story. Next, a Canadian woman who lost her Swedish-born mother decades ago is reconnecting with her through a stash of her mother's letters shared with her by a relative in Sweden. Now, the daughter is learning Swedish! In Scandinavia, some more Viking graves have been found… but two of them are remarkable for what was found with them. Finally, hear why the "Black Death" may be causing you health problems today! In Segment 2, Fisher talks with Scott Norrick of Chicago. Scott's research has led him to a New England ancestor suspected of playing a key role in British history, but his altered identity still presents challenges. Then, hear Long Island, NY resident Andrew Malekoff talk about what he learned about his father and his activities as a teenager in the 1930s. It was an eyebrow raiser for Andrew and it will be for you too! David then returns for two more of your questions on Ask Us Anything. That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!
