BBC Wales also have a series "Coming Home" which traces the Welsh ancestry of various celebrities but I don't think it has been shown outside Wales.

you can get BBC wales if you have sky digital

You don't need SKY digital, just a digital satellite receiver.  BBC programmes are Free To Air and don't need anything from Mr Murdoch to receive them.  I don't have a satellite receiver but I have been finding that BBC iPlayer has quite a few BBC Wales programmes so hopefully I might get chance to see any future series.

Our Oz friends need a Slingbox at a relative's home in Wales!

I think I tried to watch something on that BBC iPlayer once.
You need to sign up and provide a UK address though don't you?

I think you're right Belinda. I think somehow your ISP(?) address is checked and you're unable to view unless you're in the UK

What an interesting background she had - Huguenot and Arabic - you'd need the experts to disentangle that lot!!   ::) ::)  Like you - I wish!

A fantastic episode.  Especially interesting to see Julie SAWALHA's father, the video of her grandmother, and the visit to the places in Jordan where her Bedouin Gran lived - an amazing lady.  And how lucky was Julie to get so far back with her maternal Huguenot ancestry (silk weaver sounds lovely but how hard they must have worked to satisfy the demands of the rich).  The less exotic strands of her heritage missing - but I guess that not everything can be crammed into one short episode.  A wonderful multicultural mix ranging from first generation on her father's side ...
