After a quick visit once again with Nicole's Chicago family, take a trip through the archives with "family detective" W. Jacarl Melton, who shares vivid tales of the ancestors with hosts Nicole Franklin (his proud cousin) and Bryant Monteilh.
In this episode of Before You Go, hosts Nicole Franklin and Bryant Monteilh take listeners of their now weekly Los Angeles radio program on KBLA Talk 1580 to a quick visit with Aunt Pearlene and Menyoune in Chicago once more, then down the many roads traveled with Nicole's cousin, W. Jacarl Melton, from Nicole's maternal side of the family. Nicole calls Jacarl their "family detective." Jacarl tells vivid stories of the family ancestors all uncovered through research which he pursues to validate and document family lore. It's an exciting show--one where this Melton descendent began his family research journey when on a quest to learn all about the harrowing tale and tragic end of his ancestor Isaac "Getaway" Melton.
