Genealogy for Nuts

I stumbled upon this video. I don’t know what show this is, but apparently this person is as crazy about genealogy as people can be about anything else. I like people that are a bit nutty. I must find this show. lol

Edit: As indicated in the beginning, it’s from a video called “Out of Your Tree: Crazy About Genealogy.” It I found out that the man in the video is Robert A Burns. Genealogists have many interests and so it may or may not surprise you that next to this video, he is most known as the art director of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” He was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was found deceased from carbon monoxide poisoning shortly after, taking his own life as evident from a farewell message he posted to his fans on his website. He was 60 years old.

OBITUARY

The video was produced in 1993 by Rondo Films, and you might be able to find a copy by writing to Cinetex Inc, PO Box 549, Austin, TX 78767 but the information may be outdated (Source). You may also find a copy at Amazon.com.

The video is 38 minutes long and is revered by professional genealogists for covering more than 50 resources in such a short video.
