BBC "Who Do You Think You Are?" Jane Seymour (WDYTYA Series 12 Episode 2)

[Josephine]

Re. Jane Seymour's father knowing or believing that at least one cousin had been sent to Bergen-Belsen: it's possible that a relative or friend had written to his family and communicated what they knew or suspected about the fates of his relatives.

Re. the documentation: the Nazis are notorious for having been fastidious record keepers. The Allied Forces also gathered as much information as possible from survivors in the aftermath of the Holocaust; many of these records are held by the International Tracing Service in Germany.

I thought the episode was compelling and heartbreaking.

Am I the only one who wanted to find a link between Jane Seymour and Jane Seymour?

Or is that already known/not known?

[KGarrad]

Jane Seymour is her stage name?!

She was born Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg.

Well that would explain it 

Thanks KG

Thank you StevieSteve. They really should not have cut that scene at the graveside. It truly shows what a gracious woman Jane Seymour is.

A fascinating programme from start to finish.

I think it is a great pity they don't have a "how we did it" section at the end of each show, (as suggested above by Caw1,) but I suspect that after the WDYTYA web site was set up it was considered unnecessary, as advice on specific topics can be accessed here when required.
