I watch it when I have a chance.  It's fascinating how they can trace a family's history.  I often don't know the celebrities but hearing people's histories and thinking about how knowing your own true history might or might not affect your own thoughts and perceptions today is really interesting.  Love Henry Louis Gates, Jr. too.

 

An "old" show?  They just started another new season.


This is their 10th season.  Henry Gates was on the view a couple weeks ago celebrating it's 10th season.


 

 

 

i saw that show @sunshine 919 !

 

sunny was amazed when she found out she was actually more SPANISH than PUERTO RICAN (7%) AND that her spanish ancestors were slaveholders. 

 

i think the show and the stories are fascinating.
