As so called "laymen" or non-experts, we are always told not to touch or handle old items with our bare hands because the oils on our hands will damage the items, yet I see you people doing it all the time. Isn't that just as bad as us handling these items?
Asked by James Luke from South Dakota
Dear Tukufu,
My mother is from Germany and my father from the US. My father is African American. His oldest brother attempted to trace the family and came to a dead end after three generations. How does an African American family get over that gap when the surname is no longer relevant?
Asked by Linda
Dear Gwen,
I have two questions prompted by your fascinating segment on the women's suffrage painting. 1) I didn't understand how you generated the short list of individuals named Dale from which you identified the actual artist. Can you elaborate? 2) Is the image analysis performed on the painting generally the same as what would be done if someone pays to have a painting appraised, or was it a more sophisticated service that would perhaps more likely be used by academics or museums?
