Episode 324 - The FAN Club Principal Cracks Open Brick Walls the Possible Location of Your Lost Civil War Pension Records Revealed

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 with the story of the oldest living COVID-19 survivor. Coronavirus isn't the only thing he's gotten through! Then, a great grandfather who's nearly 90 is going to be a father again in July! Hear who this man is and more of the remarkable family dynamics. Then, Smithsonian has a great article on ExtremeGenes.com about ordinary items that go way back, and some unique stories surrounding them… like why forks were not avoided for years on end. The World War I Museum in Kansas City is struggling like many organizations through the lockdown, but they've come up with a unique way to keep their employees busy… and employed. Then, the guys fill you in on live FamilySearch sessions the site is providing during the lockdown. David has the schedule.

Next, of two segments, Fisher visits with Rachel Popma of Legacy Tree Genealogists. Rachel talks about the FAN Club Principal and how many use it to break open brick walls and find the origins of ancestors. It'll make sense to you when you hear it and how Rachel used it in one of her own cases.

David then returns for Ask Us Anything. The guys answer questions about how to determine who a DNA match is when the match doesn't post a tree or respond to a message as well as where a missing Civil War pension file might be found.

That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!
