This sounds like a wonderful telecast.. We don't get it aired here...but you can bet your boots they'll have a duplicate of it in the U.S. or Canada...
Seems to me there is a lot of copycatting from British Programs...  ;D so
must be good, huh?
  Hope we can get it in reruns...sounds as though it's terrific!  Enjoy!

Today's one was even more brilliant, JJ. Colin went right back to where his ancestor had been a slave in Jamaica. There were no houses or anything to show, but to see the actual spots was very touching.
All in all, I think this was the best one so far.

I seem to remember someone here had family at Gallipoli. I have just posted on The Common Room a despatch for the 21st August 1915. It might be of interest.

ancestors in the attic
I wondered why the floorboards creek when no-one is upstairs...it's those darn ancestors in the attic again looking for my whiskey. ::) :P

I've just been browsing on the 'Family Roots' section of the Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph website and noticed this article about the descendants of 'Uncle Bert'.
