TV shows you might like
If you like genealogy related TV shows, you might try these...
Relative Race, on the BYUTV channel is a mash up of Amazing Race and Finding Your Roots. "Relative Race is unlike any other reality show as the cameras capture authentic, unscripted, raw moments while four couples race against the clock. It's a reality competition with a unique, family-history twist."
Follow Your Past is on the Travel Channel and, in their words, "is a series that follows average Americans on a journey to breathtaking locations as they uncover their very personal connection to history's most extraordinary events. Each episode, host and author Alison Stewart takes individuals around the world from one incredible location to another, giving each person a chance to literally walk in their ancestors' footsteps. Each step of the way, they learn important clues about their family's contribution to world history. By journey's end, their famous ancestor is revealed, and the historical impact of that person's life will come into clear and striking focus." I have not yet watched this one, but a genealogist friend from California (Jean Wilcox Hibben) helped to research a couple of segments.
As always, check your local listings for showtimes!

Finding Your Roots," a 10-part Series on PBS
January 04, 2012
"Finding Your Roots," a 10-part Series on PBS
Another genealogy series is about to be launched on television in the U.S. "Finding Your Roots" with historian Henry Louis Gates Jr. will launch on March 25. That will be the first episode of a 10-part series on PBS stations.
The new series will feature two people in each one-hour episode, including husband-and-wife actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, who jokes she's afraid they might turn out to be cousins. "They are indeed distant cousins," revealed Gates. "Talk about six degrees of separation, right?"
Check your local listings for the exact time and channel in your area.
Wonder if this will help to up our customer count...

PS, I don't know if Kyra and I are cousins... but I doubt we are.
