I wanted to let you know that there is more genealogical programming available for the taking.
Roots Radio premiered on February 8th and can be heard live each Thursday (1pm Pacific, 4pm Eastern), online via the Modavox’s VoiceAmerica channel over the Internet at www.voice.voiceamerica.com.
The show is also available in podcast format the day after broadcast; Episode 1 can be downloaded from www.familyrootsradio.com/index.html.
You may recall a short while back that there was a search on for additional heirs to the British Royal Throne. (You can find more information on Dick Eastman’s blog here.) The search was organized by the English Heritage organization to commemorate the opening of a new visitor center at the Battle Abbey and Battlefield in Hastings. Additional information of the Battle of Hastings can be found here.
Well it appears that out of 500 respondents worldwide, at least two men from the UK may well be eligible to call themselves royalty.
An article on the BBC News Web site says that Mr. Albert Turnbull from Gateshead, and Mr. Mark Golledge of Berkshire, have submitted family trees that contain the required genealogical documentation that connects them to either King Harold, Edward the Confessor, Edgar the Aetheling or Alfred the Great.
