I invite your readers to hear from Lisa Kudrow the producer and star of Who Do You Think You Are? on the upcoming Genealogy Gems Podcast episode #81 which I’ll be publishing on Valentine’s Day – Feb. 14, 2010. You can’t help but get excited for more genealogy TV when you hear her talk about this new show!

Featuring a photo and a bit of information. The audience tracks that missing ancestor to their last known associates and hopefully where they’ve been hiding all these years.

We could keep a running total such as “1102 ancestors found worldwide.”

The BBC version is quite addictive viewing. Wondering if the American version will have the same format. After watching an episode of each show, one is quite inspired to go and research one’s own family tree…would probably do so if the BBC helped the way they help the celebrities!

Thomas, they may be filming “Genealogists Gone Wild” in Salt Lake at the end of April. After all, Motha Superior Sheri and I will be roomies for the NGS conference. Without adult supervision, who knows what mischief we’ll get into. Do you have any extra “Get Out of Hell Free” cards we can borrow?
