Episode 416 - Going For Dual Citizenship: The Benefits & Hidden Landmines / One Woman's Journey To Find The Voice Of Her Late Father

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with guest host David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. The guys begin the show talking about the recent release of the 1950 Census and how to use it in these days before the indexing is done. Then, David shares the origins of the UK's passion for fish and chips. You might be surprised where the tradition came from. Next, a whaling ship, dating back almost 190 years, has been found. Catch the details. Work on Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has resulted in a fascinating find. Hear what it is. Also, an ancient discovery in Israel is causing some talk… and perhaps a curse! David has details. And finally… it sounds like a joke… Why did the Vikings leave Greenland? Hear the conclusion after a recent study.

Fisher then visits with Susan Guttman from sponsor Legacy Tree Genealogists. Susan helps people apply for dual citizenship in Italy and Ireland. She explains the advantages for qualified people, and the big disadvantage for another country. Susan talks about how to apply and what exactly makes you qualified.

Next, it's a classic segment from 2015 as Fisher visits with Leann Walker Young, daughter of the late Chicago Cubs coach "Rube" Walker. Leann explains how she searched for years to find a recording of the voice of her Dad, who passed when she was just three years old. It's a great story!

David then returns for two segments of Ask Us Anything as the guys talk about the Internet Archive and planning for family history road trips.

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