On  the net  you  can find a profile of all  the  shows etc  it is a bit of a spoiler really.

kind regards JEnn

Which is why I didn't post all the stuff we found about Cathy Freeman and Ita Buttrose on this thread.

Ah - dear old Ita Buttrose - has it been shown yet, Dee ?

Not yet, Gadget. Jack Thompson was the first Aussie episode, and it looks like Ita is the last of the 6.

Hi all

really enjoyed the show, but doesn't any addict enjoy a taste of what they love.

I will be very interested to see in the coming series if any of the "stars" profiled have just ordinary backgrounds or if all the people selected have a surprise "in the closet".
Keeps the viewers interested & the ratings up I suppose but how many of us would love that sort of easy access to records & a trip to the homeland also thrown in.

I feel it is the same old story, the people who can afford to pay, don't, have never really been that interested or they would have done it. "We", battle along for years at great expense & time.

I suppose my sub to Ancestry has subsidised all these "stars" easy access to their family history. Sour Grapes, you bet, they don't even offer a discount when you renew.

If your sub is via .uk - cancel it (I cancelled mine because they removed access to Australian data from UK sub) - get a refund & then get 1/2 price for 13 months from .au

Hi Trish
Bit rough removing access once you had access, no mine is world wide, got it on a special & expires 17/1, 2 days. To renew $300 Aust for 12 months, 3 times what I paid. I think it has become a comfort zone with access to census records & I know they have added lots of good stuff, but when I really look back I am not sure I have really achieved that much from the records available to me. My family seem to always be in a time frame that there are no records & I am sure many others are exactly the same.  I may cancel & think about it for awhile & see what happens.

Well, I unfortunately have been away on a short break and missed Jack Thompson!   But someone here promised to tape it for me, and I'm sure she has done, so I look forward to seeing it eventually!! 

Meanwhile, looking forward to next Sunday's which I will DEFINITELY see!

That means you'll have none of these problems about access to particular records being taken away, Gadget!!
