Episode 337 - What's There? Fisher Gets His "Big Reveal" On DNA From Family Envelopes / Melanie McComb On Researching Minister Ancestors

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. The guys open with the latest news on the GEDMatch security breach. Then, Delaware is removing a public whipping post, largely used to punish African-Americans for petty crimes. Hear where it's going. Next, it's another son finding another car that once belonged to his father. Only this time it's a unique car and it's over in England. Catch the details. A woman who qualifies as a "Rosie the Riveter" from World War II is back serving her country again. Find out what this amazing woman is doing. Fisher next updates everyone on the latest with Ancestry and their raising of the limit for a match from 6 centiMorgans to 8.

Fisher then follows up his visit from last week with Karra Porter, co-founder of Keepsake DNA. Today she reveals to Fisher whether any of his four ancestral envelopes that he supplied had sufficient DNA from which kits might soon be created. Be there for his "big reveal!"

Melanie McComb, longtime friend of the show from NEHGS, then shares her knowledge of researching family who served in the clergy. You might be surprised at how much information can be found on these relatives and how much information on their family might be a part of it.

David Lambert then returns for a pair of questions on Ask Us Anything.
