Who Do You Think You Are?

NBC just finished airing the first season of Who Do You Think You Are? and has announced that they are planning a second season! I highly recommend that you check this show out if you haven't already. Go here to watch any of the seven episodes from the first season in their entirety. If you don't know anything about the show, it follows seven celebrities as they research their own family history. It is amazing some of the discoveries that they make. I was excited to see the first episode featuring Sarah Jessica Parker, especially since she makes a visit during the episode to her hometown of Cincinnati, OH! She discovers that she had relatives who were part of 2 significant historical events- the California gold rush and the Salem witch trials. It is amazing what a little research can tell you about your family history.
Please share with us what interesting facts you come across as you discover the marks that your ancestors have made in history!
