Episode 269 - Researcher Loathes Middle Name Until Researcher Gives Her The Link To Automobile Pioneers / What You Need To Know About RootsTech 2019

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. The guys begin their Family Histoire News with word that our Neanderthal DNA is not reducing over time. David explains what science is telling us. Then, they share the wonderful story of how a baby was found in an ash can in Korea in the early 1950s by some US Navy men and what has happened to his life since. David then talks about a couple of identical twins that got some consistently odd ethnicity results with their DNA tests. Then David talks about a remarkable find he made in the divorce records of his maternal grandfather and reviews Peter Jackson’s World War I documentary “They Shall Not Grow Old.”  David’s Blogger Spotlight this week shines on a blogger simply known as “Zoe.” Zestyz.wordpress.com is something of a new blog which talks about ancestors and early Hollywood. Next, Fisher visits with Tyler Stahle of RootsTech. Tyler fills you in on this year’s speakers, features and highlights of RootsTech 2019, February 27-March 2, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tyler also has a special discount for Extreme Genes listeners! Then, Fisher talks to Lucy Mimna Goodwin of San Diego. Lucy was not a fan of her middle name. But when her research told the story of the Mimna branch of the family, it changed everything. Hear what Lucy learned about her family ties to automobile pioneers. Then Tom Perry, the Preservation Authority from TMCPlace.com, talks about a wowy new camera that might rock your world as you prepare your family histories. That’s all this week on Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show!
