PREMIERING FEBRUARY 3, 2012 at 8/7C
Martin Sheen, Marisa Tomei, Blair Underwood, Reba McEntire, Rob Lowe, Helen Hunt, Rita Wilson, Edie Falco, Rashida Jones, Jerome Bettis, Jason Sudeikis and Paula Deen will take a look inside their family histories on NBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? Season 3.
This is an interesting show for any genealogist to watch as long as you realize that 99.5% of genealogists do not have it this easy when searching for their ancestral roots. It is rare that any of us enter a library and are greeted by well trained librarian or historian at the door with the words, "I have found something about your family I think you will find interesting."
While it isn't easy for the 99.5% of us to find our roots, there are still valuable tips you can find while watching this TV series - resources you haven't thought about before, questions you can ask the next time you are face-to-face searching for data of your ancestry, a path you can follow to search information from one place to the next. And there is always that thrill we feel no matter who has finally found information about their family. Why not watch the show Feb. 3rd and let me know what you think?
Pathfinder Church genealogists....note the "flesh" that these celebrities are able to put on their ancestors through photos, descriptions and records - height, weight, complexion, occupation, eye color, disposition, church affiliation, etc.
