Episode 370 - Mayflower Silver Book Project Expands / Actress Patricia Heaton Talks Family History With Fisher

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. The two begin with David talking about his find the night before of a family history item he bought on eBay! Hear what it is, what he paid for it, and how he found it. Then, some improvements have come to Ancestry.com's DNA home page. Find out what has been upgraded. Next, could Neanderthals really have used toothpicks? David explains. Then, it's an FBI sting operation that rescued a document that's pretty important to the state of North Carolina. Hear what it is, how long it was missing and how it was returned. Finally, who knew that among jobs occupied by women in the early 20th century one involved standing atop a high tower? David will fill you in.

Next, Fisher catches up with Bonnie Wade Mucia of the Mayflower Society. Bonnie talks about the "Silver Book Project," it's history, where it's been, and now, where it's going. It's good news whether or not you descend from the Mayflower.

Fisher then shares one of his Favorite Fifty interviews. This one comes from 2019 when he sat down with actress Patricia Heaton after her RootsTech keynote address.

Then, it's Ask Us Anything as Fisher and David tackle questions on World War I records and locating ancestors' homes.

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