Scott Fisher is a Connecticut native who has been in radio since his youth, and has spent four decades of spare time as a passionate “roots sleuth.”  A long-time morning show host, best known for his long tenure in Salt Lake City, Utah, Fisher is also the author of “New York City Methodist Marriages, 1785-1893,” which was published by Picton Press in 1994.  He has also been published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Journal, The Catholic Ancestor, Journal of the Catholic Family History Society of England as well as the Ensign. His 16 books on the families of both his and his

wife’s ancestors, written over 30 years, fill the better part of a shelf in Fisher’s family room library.  

In 2013, Scott Fisher started a weekly podcast and radio show called Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show.

In the spring of 2015, the remains of a murder victim, who had been missing since 1983, were found near his home. When local authorities were unable to find next-of-kin, Fisher offered his services,

locating family after three dedicated weeks of researching, Facebooking, emailing, and telephoning.   The story received national attention, and was written up in People, FoxNews, CBS.com, the 48 Hours Facebook page, and countless newspapers.  

Fisher and wife Julie have four children, and six grandchildren.
