p4 We are looking for folks to participate before in four ways: 1. Guest appearance in the studio. We will walk brothers & sisters through the steps necessary to build their family tree with a strong emphasis on using the computer. If you want to be on live television and have the courage to look for and share your family history, this is your chance. 2. Call in to the studio live on the air. If you have any questions about your personal family history or black history, call in to the studio during the live program (the show is usually the last thursday of the month at 8pm). 3. Email questions for reading live on the air. Email your question ahead of time to ancestors@reidren.com and it will be read on the air and responded to fully. 4. Pre-made interviews/clips. We are looking to have pre-made interview breaks during the live show so if you would like to be interviewed as someone who knows alot about making your family tree and want to share something about it with the community, or if you are someone who would like to say that they don’t know alot about family tree making but believe it is something important to our community, we would like to record you.
If you are interested in participating (whether as a live or taped guest, or by call-in/email in), please contact Joel at 857 939-1461.
