At last something different, I know they have done Anglo Indian before but all the information about the French and Danish involvement was new and Americans in India, who knew that.

I found the Mishal Hussein programme quite interesting, even though my mind was galloping trying to keep up with loads of Indian subcontinent placename changes!

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and found Mishal's surprise and delight as her ancestors' history was revealed really entertaining.  Though her travels took her both to India and the USA, she didn't seem to do a great deal of research herself, but was supplied with information by other researchers. 

I did find it annoying that Phil Davis in his commentary seemed to be pronouncing Mishal's name as Michelle.  I guess this happens to her a lot.

Mishal Hussein.

One of if not the best WDYTYA episode ever.

Made even more memorable by her sheer joy of finding every aspect of her family.

India, Denmark, Ireland and the USA in one episode, so do take time out to watch it.

Not one of my favourites but I guess it depends what subjects you are interested in.  The US history part I enjoyed.

I agree, but it "is" made to look easy, when we all know how difficult it can be. I can`t remember an episode where someone has said just how many hours it took(takes) to find a record.

I`ve spent all day on occasion at the archives only to leave without finding any success.

Mishal was a breath of fresh air not saying "wow"  ( or even worse wowsers) once ! Jerry Hall springs to mind!!

In lineage societies, the frequently-used term 'gateway ancestor' refers to an ancestor who has a known lineage which can be traced back to a person of prominence. Proven lines to gateway ancestors can result in descendants being accepted into many hereditary societies.
