I'm watching.  Like that they have her mum starting her off with a few old photos and stories.  Over a v pretty china cup of tea - perhaps Tracey is not so rock and roll after all!

Do you know I enjoyed that more than I thought I would. I thought I wouldn't like her based on her art (which I'm really not into!) but she came across as a really decent person and so interested in her family.

Wish someone would draw out my family tree beautifully like that!

Yup, I hold my hands up, I didn't expect to like her at all.   (but until she started explaining I hadn't realised that might be because I'm condemned at present to living at the end of a cul-de-sac)

I've been very pleasantly surprised.   Good episode, interesting, informative, different, and I liked her reaction to things as well.

I'm with you on that portybelle, personally I wasn't looking forward to this episode as I'm not that keen on her lifestyle and style of art but it was really interesting and they covered many things we question looking at census returns... the reform school, home children, crimes and travellers....

am I as surprised as she was at her background - no ;D ;D ;D

It was very educational for anyone interested in English social history - reform schools, emigration patterns, prison life, gypsy way of life.  And a little bit of education re census searches for those considering starting a search.  But it broke the mould in that she didn't go further than Warwickshire!

Shocked that 9 year olds were shipped off to Canada without their parents consent!

I agree i relly enjoyed this 1 and i wasn't looking forward to it at all i was pleasently surprised. I was also so surprised that her ancestors came from tamworth 5 miles from me so this made it even more interesting for me. Tracy seemed like such a nice lady, well done wdytya a real nice ending to the series.

I enjoyed this one as well down to earth and lots of interesting information. They followed it generation by generation rather than jumping all over the place. BBC we want more like this please
