Show Notes
Host Scott Fisher opens the show with Your DNA Guide Diahan Southard filling in for David Allen Lambert. Diahan talks about the newfound benefits with the latest edition of Dr. Blaine Bettinger's Shared cM Project. Next, Fisher and Diahan talk about a great new article on Civil War female spies. Things apparently haven't changed much in the last hundred years as Fisher shares a story about a California mayor who got in big trouble for not wearing a mask during the Spanish Flu pandemic.
Next, Fisher visits with Beverly Hewett. Ten years ago she learned from her beloved Dad that he was not her biological father. She turned to DNA five years ago, and just this past week her bio-father was identified. She explains what she learned along the way to final achieve "the big reveal."
Then, Fisher catches up with Melissa Barker, "The Archive Lady" of Houston County, Tennessee. Melissa's been a busy archivist during the pandemic. She tells us about some great things are awaiting us when we get to the back end of the lockdown at archives everywhere.
CeCe Moore, star of the ABC-TV Series "The Genetic Detective" then talks about the next episode of her show. She calls the featured case her "favorite" because it results in the exoneration of a convicted killer, and the identification of the real killer.
Diahan Southard then returns for Ask Us Anything. Naturally, it's a question about DNA.
That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!
