I thought the Fred  Sirieix episode was interesting too. I learnt something new, (always a good thing) about the decimation of the French vineyards in the 1860's and 1870's by  Phylloxera, known as the Great French wine blight.Just under half of all vineyards were destroyed. I also found his visit to the abandoned orphanage in Paris was quite poignant.
Good, also, to have a slightly different viewpoint of the two world wars.

I enjoyed it too and agree with comments of the last 2 members.
He seemed genuinely interested and affected by what was found.

At least he isn't an ACTOR  ( you probably know what I mean ) he did appear to be genuine.

I quite liked the episode as well, and on a side note I just got back from being at the Society of Genealogists yesterday. Staff there said during my 5 hour stay I could look at the FamilySearch records that are usually only available at FH centres and affiliate libraries, as SOG is affiliate. Also you can even do a keyword search with searchable text, and can get results for PCC wills etc, and many other records, but I am not sure how you can rely on that.

I’m not usually that keen on Fred Sirieix as he reminds me of the Duracell bunny advert (in the uk we get an advert for a rabbit that is fitted with very long lasting batteries and it’s all a bit hyper). However I found this episode very interesting and poignant in places,  such as when he was in the derelict hospice with the statue in the courtyard.
