Episode 276 - Name and Family Changes With DNA Test Results / Natural Disasters & The Loss Of Family Photos

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. Family Histoire News begins with the story of the discovery that old clay tobacco pipes are preserving centuries-old saliva. And now those pipes are getting DNA tested. Hear about one fascinating find. Then, the "Who was Jack The Ripper" controversy continues. One investigator says DNA reveals the answer. Then, Lake George, New York is the site of the discovery of a long forgotten Revolutionary soldiers' cemetery. David explains what has been found. And finally the guys talk about a Minnesota man who took up the bugle in his 60s so he could play taps at military funerals. David's Blogger Spotlight this week shines on McKall Erin Ruell and her site MakingTheirStoriesKnown.blogspot.com.

Next, Fisher visits with Michelle Riess, a New Jersey woman. Michelle was 40 years old when a DNA test result changed her life. In fact, Michelle wasn't even her name at the time, but now everything has changed. Catch this remarkable story and how Michelle has adapted.

Then, Mitch Goldstone, CEO and Co-Founder of ScanMyPhotos.com visits with Fisher about the recent "bomb cyclone" and other natural disasters which are causing thousands to lose their most precious photos.
