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.

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!

Love this show. Loved the episode with Josh Groban. My ancestors are from Germany with very similar reasons for coming to Pennsylvania. Amazing!
