History professor Kevin James is scheduled to be on the CBC radio program Ontario Today Friday afternoon. James will be talking about his role on History Televison's hit show Ancestors in the Attic as the on-air genealogist. He will also participate in a call-in with host Rita Celli during which listeners will be encouraged to call in and share their stories about family history searches/mysteries, with James providing commentary and input. He will be on the air from about 12:20 to 1 p.m.
