SOMETIME AGO, THIS YEAR, I WATCHED A DOCUMENTARY ON TV DETAILING FACTS OF AMELIA EARHART’S LAST FLIGHT.

The evidence discussed suggested that she landed on an island not far from her destination and broadcast for many hours her location. Several people heard thise broadcast. She had no radio receiver.

Natives reported seeing the aircraft but it is no longer there and believed to have dropped into deep water off the coast.

There was to be a search in a year of so by deep water divers to search for the aircraft.

Evidence of human remains were located and a few metal items found were suspected to belong to Amelia and her navigator.

Would like to obtain followup info but have no record of who broadcast the documentory.

Thanks for any assistance you can give. Tex Atkinson

And this has what to do with genealogy and/or Ancestry’s “purported” mission?
