I love learning new things, and it's wonderful to see what others learn about their family trees. I just wish that we could get the first three seasons on here too!

Great show. Very fascinating!! So neat to learn these more personal histories which give us more of a story as a global community. Also, really great way to get youth involved in geneology and history.

Like it a lot because I'm interested in genealogy research. Have done my own for over 40 years. It is AMAZING! some of the things we find. I have some interesting "founding fathers" on my mothers side. Going back to 1600's in America. I'm a DAR!! Sondra J.
