Myra's Books

May 4, 2009

Susan and Myra will take a trip together down memory lane. We will discuss the early days of genealogy, the advent of Genie, AOL and Prodigy in the late 1980’s and 1990’s and the subsequent growth with the internet which changed the face of the genealogy forever. You truly won’t want to miss this show, especially those who shared some of these early moments. There is no telling what secrets may be revealed, lifetime nicknames and perhaps one of the first acronyms in the industry, RDPP! Should be an enlightening show and with Myra, always a barrel of laughs!
