Myrt provides practical down-to-earth advice to approximately 40,000 listeners each week who tune in and listen to featured genealogy authors, lecturers & publishers. Listeners are able to minimize the radio player and follow Myrt in visiting useful genealogy, history and library web sites during the live broadcast. 'My grandfather would never talk about his side of the family' is a common complaint. "When family historians hit a brick wall like this, they need help learning to access alternative resources in church, court, census and other surviving records documenting the life of an ancestor, " says Myrt, as she is known by her readers and listeners. "By calling during DearMYRTLE's Family History Hour - Wednesday, one may ask locality-specific or ethnic-specific questions and receive an answer by the scheduled guest from the Everton's ASK-A-PRO network." "Family history is the #1 hobby in the world, but people still have questions. ASK-A-PRO connects the people who need help with the people who can help," states Lee Everton. "This one-to-one advice is just what's needed to jump start your ancestral quest", says DearMYRTLE. "I've known Lee Everton and his work for years, and feel his network of experienced associates will be a valuable new resource for my listeners."
