>> The poular series (Who do you think you are?) returns to NBC beginning
>> Friday Feb. 3, at 8:00 p.m. local time. As usual a variety of people with

>> investigated: Martin Rob Lowe, Helen Hunt, Reba McEntire, Blair
>> Underwood,
>> Eddie Falco, Rashida Jones, Jerone Bettis, Paula Deen, Jason Sudeikis and

>> The great thing about both these shows is that they show that not all
>> family history and genealogy can done done by searching computer
>> datatbases - rather that is only part of the process. The popularity of

>> new
>> resources to use in thier own searching but there is also the "wow
>> factor"
>> in being shown Archives, Libraries and research facilities around the
>> world that hold the irreplacebale documents of human history.
>>
>> Let me suggest something to consider: Many of us belong to "book clubs" -
>> so why not invite a couple of genealogy buddies over for dinner and what
>> it as a group and discuss the results over dessert after the end of the
>> show ...
>>
>> So get the dinner dishes done, put the answeing machine on, sit down with
>> a beverage of choice and enjoy!
