I’m so excited! Genealogy Roadshow (which I mentioned in a blog post back in June) is set to premiere on PBS on Monday at 9 pm eastern/8 pm central.
From what I can tell, the concept is that the show is “Antiques Roadshow” meets “Who Do You Think You Are?” On the show, advertisers help average people explore unverified genealogical claims (stories passed down through the generations). I don’t know about you, but that sounds like a good time to me! According to the show’s website, “Genealogy Roadshow will unearth family and community secrets, reveal notable relatives and discover unexpected stories that connect the past to the present.”
I’m not able to watch live, since I’m out of town, but thanks to the miracle of the PBS Roku channel, I’ll be able to watch it on demand when I get home. Or, I’m sure, I can watch it on my computer at PBS’ website.
I can’t wait! Will you be tuning in?
Thanks for the heads up, I will set a reminder
You’re welcome, Jerry! I hope I enjoy it as much as I expect to. And I hope you enjoy it!
For those with an Apple gadget, PBS has an app that allows you to view many of their aired programs for a while. Right now they have short previews for this program. Go to iTunes and search “PBS” and download. I use my iPad and it’s great.
Simone, thank you for that contribution! That’s a great idea for people on the go.
