Why the Heck did they cut that scene... !!!!

I did enjoy all the history it told us about what happened to Polish Jews, I would though have liked to know where they got the documents which were so helpful and informative.........this would have perhaps helped others to find out more about their relatives.
I definitely prefer the original much more genealogical programs.

Yes, I quite enjoyed last night's offering and agree that it would have been better to have had some info about the part of the family who settled in Switzerland. Lots of it was really sad and heart breaking.

From now on I will view this program as a "show" about someone famous who has a couple of interesting ancestors rather than anything to do with genealogy as we know it

Happy viewing,

Dorrie

Thank you Steviesteve for posting the link with the unseen footage.

I can't think why they didn't use it in the programme, such a pity as you always felt that the events would lead up to a distant relative being introduced to Jane.

I'm not so keen on the new format that seems to be being used in this series as it just seems to be concentrating on firstly more recent events and secondly just one or two people and not taking their lines very far back.

It would also have been interesting to find out where the documents they showed Jane came from as I'm sure there are many people who would be interested in researching that particular time.
If they had say even a 10 minute slot at the end where they could just give some information on how to go about obtaining documents like this anyone interested could continue watching and if you weren't then just switch off!!
It would be a bit like the end of some wildlife programmes where they show how some sequences of filming took place!

I hope the next one with Derek Jacobi has something different to offer and not linked to the war!

I'd like it if the research involved was shown in greater detail, though. Often we see a celebrity type a name into ancestry, and magically they find their ancestor in the census! We all know it's not that simple! I imagine a large number of viewers will have an interest in genealogy, and are given a misleading version...

Correct Claire,

Hence the reason for many posts looking for X born in wherever, with no other info.

It's crystal balls we need for some I've read, not a computer, Ancestry or FindMyPast

If we all had our own dedicated researchers and all we had to do was type in a name on any of the sites it would take away that ureka moments we get sometimes!!

There are so many amazing and knowledgable people on this site that it is comforting to know someone is always kind enough to help out when the chips are down!

Having had personal experience it has changed my life.

The jury is out for me on this series. I have fallen asleep during the last 2 which does not bode well.

Hoping that they do not stick to this format of concentrating on one generation and one period in history

I expect that they cut the scene for time- reasons - but it did add another dimension, and I think, enriched the programme. Certainly better than the first one in this series.

I actually quite liked this episode!  They did focus a lot on one piece of history, but they actually did it well. Although, I hope in the next episode they do something different than the two wars.

In an exclusive scene that was cut from Jane Seymour's episode, the star visits the grave of her great uncle Dr Herman Temerson, where she is also introduced to a long lost relative...

Don't have access to sound at the mo, so don't actually know who

I wish they had shown that scene though!
