Episode 423: Classic Rewind - Woman Discovers Late Dad's "Ordinary Life" Wasn't So Ordinary After All

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 how old Roman roads throughout Europe can now be digitally tracked through omnesviae.org. Dave has the story. Then, the last "witch" executed in the Salem Witch Trials has been officially exonerated. Hear who it is and why her status has been adjusted after over 300 years. Utah's and Arizona's Lake Powell is going through a challenging water level drop. But a historical benefit is being seen. Find out what it is. Oldest man? Oldest woman? Yes, we keep track of those, but Guinness has now named the world's oldest dog! Dave will tell you how old this frisky pooch is, along with some other great stories.

Next, in two parts, Fisher visits with Nadia Rupniak. Nadia never thought her late father accomplished much in his life, but as the result of discovering an old letter, she learned otherwise. Hear about the family history adventure she was launched into after going through her mother's effects in England 14 years ago.

David then returns for more of Ask Us Anything, answering your questions.

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