The panel Melissa Barker, Bernice Bennett, Laura Hedgecock, Jenny Hawran, Shelley
Murphy, and I welcome Scott Fisher from Extreme Genes.
Scott tells us about
his 10-year run with the radio show and podcast and why he has decided to pull
the plug after 485 episodes. He shares some of the stories and experiences from
bringing us news tips and featuring many genealogists and their adventures over
the years.
Watch as he tells us personal stories about finding his
family history Holy Grail!
Thank you, Fisher, for a great 10 years!
Do you have a "Holy Grail" of family history you
are looking for?
The panel, Melissa Barker, Dan Earl, Laura Hedgecock, Mary Kircher Roddy, and I share stories about their favorite holiday recipes.
Watch as we discuss how different food traditions bring back memories and can cause contention about the "right" way to make certain traditional dishes! LOL!
We also got a few to share from those who couldn't be with us when we recorded.
Do you have a special recipe that reminds you of a family or a special event?
We'd love for you to share the story and recipe with us!

We also get a scoop on a show "bromance! Who knew??
Season 12 was like no other, and we are so grateful to each of the teams and their willingness to let viewers into their stories.
It's all about family, and we love this show!
Congratulations to Team Black for winning Season 12!
We hope you enjoy watching as the teams gather with us. The bond between them is so obvious!
What was your favorite part of Season 12?
It's hard to choose, but we would love to hear your thoughts!
The panel. Melissa Barker, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, Eowyn Langholf Walker, and I talk all things Day 9! From the emotional reunions to the last challenge to the results, this day was fulfilling for the teams and the viewers.

A full house on Day 8! Melissa Barker, Dan Earl, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, Shelley Murphy, Mary Kircher Roddy, Eowyn Langholf Walker, and I had so much fun talking about all the happenings on Day 8! So many answers to long-held questions brought tears to all of our eyes!

Watch, and then let us hear from you!
Who do you hope is waiting for the teams on the last day of meeting family?
And what in the world did we as fans, choose as the benefit? Hope we did good!
You know the dance. You know you've done it. The one every researcher does after finding something new. The one where you want to jump up and down and shout to everyone that you found the document, contacted a cousin with the family Bible, made a DNA connection, or found a new branch to your tree. The one that is met with glazed stares and eye rolls.
Celebration Sunday is a place to share your discoveries.

My Happy Dance Moment for this week month:
October was filled with genealogy trips!
I spent the day presenting four lectures to the Wichita Genealogical Society.
Two presentations were given at the York, SC Library Workshop
And
I attended the APG PMC in Salt Lake City!
It is so much fun seeing friends and making new ones!

The panel Melissa Barker, Jenny Hwran, Laura Hedgecock, and I get together to talk about the unforeseen events during the course of day 7 of Relative Race.
You never know what a day on the race will bring. Joy, sadness, and even injury.
Day 7 also had the risk of a team striking out.
Watch as we discuss how we felt about the unforeseen events for each of the teams.
