George announces the availability of the Beta version of Family
Tree Maker 2008 and the
opportunity to pre-order for mid-August delivery at the
introductory price of $29.95 at the
Ancestry Store. Drew and George acknowledge the undisputed
"Genealogy Guys Podcast" Marathon Endurance leader!
George announces the breakthrough of his >20-year brickwall to
find the death date and location of his Great-uncle Brisco
Washington Holder, thanks to research by a listener who located him
in the Missouri Death Records Certificate database, 1910-1956.
George talks about his subsequent research in other records, calls
to the cemetery and the funeral home, and other possible records he
will research while at the FGS Conference in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, in
August. Drew makes additional suggestions, including references to
the use of the new release of GenSmarts, V.2.
Drew talks about online books and the wealth of printed
genealogical sources, while George suggests the use of the book,
Printed Sources, edited by
Kory L. Meyerink (published by Ancestry in 1998) - an excellent
reference to many published materials.
