Episode 453 - Classic Rewind: Woman's Story About WW2 Hero Father She Never Knew Sunny Morton Compares On Newspaper Sites

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 Family Histoire News with an incredible new discovery about the family of Leonard da Vinci. David has details. Then, it's a new web project tracking the movement of the enslaved of South Carolina. SoldDownRiver.com is doing great work in identifying those who were enslaved and sold out of their families. A new organization is coming together to recognize descendants of those with ties to the Boston Tea Party. David explains. Canadians are rejoicing in anticipation of the release of the 1931 Canadian census coming out in June. And the New York Times has written about the "DNA of a Donkey!" It has been learned that our earliest form of transportation goes back 5,000 years! Finally, we sadly announce the passing of Pearl Harbor survivor, Jack Holder, who recently passed at the age of 101. Hear Fisher's 2021 interview with Jack next week.

Then, well known blogger and researcher, Sunny Morton, is back to talk about her comparison study of newspaper sites that she presented at RootsTech. There are differences!

Next, Fisher visits with author Judy Goodman Ikels whose book "Death in Wartime China: A Daughter's Discovery" talks about what she learned about the father she never knew, whose heroism in World War II is still remembered in China.

David then returns for another round of Ask Us Anything.

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