Question:

Therefore, why is the oly programme on the telly for 'us', 'Who do you think you are' a programme more about the celeb than the action of searching for your ancestors and the methods used to get the information!. I love 'who do you think you are' I never miss it and really enjoy it, but I'd also love a programme where they actually explain the methods they've used to get to where they found the ancestors!. Theres tons of 'how to do up your house', DIY programmes, gardening programmes, music programmes, film programmes, fashion, talk show etc etc, but nothing on researching ancestoral recordsWww@QuestionHome@Com

I for one couldn't agree more! i find it a difficult process, and there should be a programme on TV, explaining where you can get relevant sources from and how to access them!.
