Earlier this year a producer from the Today Show contacted me to ask if I was the genealogist that researched Meredith Vieira’s family tree for a segment on the View. Yes, indeed. So for several weeks this spring and summer I shared what I knew about the co-host’s family and did a little more digging. I created a family tree for the producer using Ancestry.com so that I could post what I knew and other researchers overseas could add more detail. The end result, a big thank you on the Today Show.

Thank you Meredith and Angela!

That’s right. You heard it here first. This week I traveled to New York to tape a segment of New Morning with Timberly Whitfield. They let me talk about my two favorite topics–family photos and family history for kids!

I presented Timberly with a family history surprise, but I’m not going to give it away in this post. You’ll have to watch it to see her reaction. I couldn’t have done it without Ancestry.com and AncestryPress.com. Ancestry Press is the newest development from the Generations Network. It’s in the beta, but it’s an amazing product. Try it out.

This is a picture of me on the set. The actual air date is Monday July 30, 2007. New Morning airs from 7 to 8 am so set those alarm clocks!
